In The Cost of Discipleship, Bonhoeffer writes: “The path of discipleship is narrow, and it is fatally easy to miss one’s way and stray from the path, even after years of discipleship. And it is hard to find. On either side of the narrow path chasms yawn. To be called to a life of extraordinary quality, to live up to it, and yet to be unconscious of it is indeed a narrow way. To confess and testify to the truth as it is in Jesus, and at the same to love the enemies of that truth, His enemies and ours, and to love them with the infinite love of Jesus Christ, is indeed a narrow way…If we behold Jesus Christ going on before step by step, we shall not go astray…For He is himself the way, the narrow way and the strait gate. He, and He alone, is our journey’s end.”
