Lenten Reading/Cost of Discipleship


Chapter 4

What do we mean when we say something is "our cross to bear"? What does Bonhoeffer mean?

Do you believe that Jesus had a better (more rewarding, more fulfilling) life than any other person? If so, would you want to trade lives with Him?

Do we believe Bonhoeffer when he says that the yoke of self is heavier than the burden of the cross?

How does the desire to avoid suffering keep us from following Jesus? Are your life choices based more on being like Jesus or avoiding suffering?
