"In this question of truthfulness,
what matters first
and last is that a man's whole being should be exposed,
his whole evil laid bare in the sight of God. But
sinful men do not like this sort of truthfulness, and
they resist it with all their might. That is why
they persecute it and crucify it. It is only because
we follow Jesus that we can be genuinely truthful,
for then he reveals to us our sin upon the cross.
The cross is God's truth about us, and therefore it
is the only power which can make us truthful. When
we know the cross we are no longer afraid of the
truth. We need no more oaths to confirm the truth of
our utterances, for we live in the perfect truth of
God.
There is no truth towards Jesus without truth towards
man. Untruthfulness destroys fellowship, but truth
cuts false fellowship to pieces and establishes genuine
brotherhood. We cannot follow Christ unless we live
in revealed truth before God and man.
SoAmazing Review: Bonhoeffer
tells us that discipleship is not free. He clearly
presents the costs required to be a disciple and
follow a narrower, yet more satisfying course.
