“Weak Christians are afraid of the shadow of the cross.”

“The cross of the Cruxifixion — without the cross of the Resurrection is the symbol of a mutilated Christianity.”

“But only he who, himself enlightened, is not afraid of shadows.”

“The cross is not random suffering, but necessary suffering. The cross is not suffering that stems from natural existence; it is the suffering that comes from being Christian. … A Christianity that no longer took discipleship seriously remade the gospel into only the solace of cheap grace. Moreover, it drew no line between natural and Christian existence. Such a Christianity had to understand the cross as one's daily misfortune, as the predicament and anxiety of our daily life. Here it has been forgotten that the cross also means being rejected, that the cross includes the shame of suffering. Being shunned, despised, and deserted by people, as in the psalmists unending lament, is an essential feature of the suffering of the cross, which cannot be comprehended by a Christianity that is unable to differentiate between a citizen's ordinary existence and a Christian existence. The cross is suffering with Christ.”

“The very word "Christianity" is a misunderstanding — in truth, there was only one Christian, and he died on the cross.”

“The srongest love is the love which is not afraid to show the weakness”

“Do not be afraid to burn a bridge you never want to cross again.”

“In truth, there was only one christian and he died on the cross.”

“The most dangerous kind of person… is one who is afraid of his own shadow.”

“In the shadow of my hurt, forgiveness feel like a decision to reward my enemy. But in the shadow of the cross, forgiveness is merely a gift from one undeserving soul to another.”
