Suffering of Christ

"It is infinitely easier to suffer in obedience to a human order than it is to suffer as the result of one's own free choice. It is infinitely easier to suffer in company than alone. It is infinitely easier to suffer publicly and with honor than out of the public eyee and in disgrace. It is infinitely easier to suffer in one's physical being than in the spirit. Christ suffered in freedom, alone. out of the public eye and in disgrace, in body and soul, and subsequently many Christians along with Him."

~Dietrich Bonhoeffer
