Lenten Reading/Cost of Discipleship


Chapter 2

How would you define discipleship? What does Bonhoeffer identify as the key difference between following a religion and being a disciple?

Bonhoeffer describes Jesus calling several people to follow him, some of who obeyed Christ and some who didn't. Which one of these people do you most identify with and why?

What do you make of Bonhoeffer’s statement “only he who believes is obedient and only he who is obedient believes”?

What is Bonhoeffer's advice to those who struggle with belief? What implications does that advice have for you personally? What implications does this have for Immanuel as a church?
