The powerful message that calls us to follow Jesus has never changed. The classic writings of Bonhoeffer’s “Cost of Discipleship” is still very relevant for today. 

Background

Bonhoeffer was surrounded by lukewarm pastors and cultural “Christians” that supported Hitler. To most people in the established German Lutheran church, security and wealth had become more important that God’s Word and faithfulness to Him.

In prison, he was separated from those who, like him, trusted God. Compromise was not an option. He put all his trust in God just as Moses, Joseph, David, Paul and many others did whose faith were deepened when totally separated for God alone.

Cheap Grace

  “The Cost of Discipleship compels the reader to face himself and God in any situation. Bonhoeffer speaks of “Cheap Grace”: preaching forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, communion without confession. “Cheap Grace” is grace without discipleship. “Costly Grace” is the gospel which must be sought again and again, the gift which must be asked for, the door at which a man must knock. “It’s costly because it costs a man his life, and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life.”
