Bonhoeffer and The Way of the Seed

In  John 12:24-26, we’re reminded that The Jesus Way is the way of the seed:  potential, death, resurrection, glory.  Dietrich Bonhoeffer, martyred in Hitler’s Germany knew the costly way of the seed.  For those who have not read, or recently read, this poem written from prison, I put it out for further reflection

STATIONS ON THE ROAD TO FREEDOM
(from Letters and Papers from Prison)

Discipline
If you would find freedom, learn above all to discipline your senses and your soul. Be not led hither and thither by your desires and your members. Keep your spirit and your body chaste, wholly subject to you, and obediently seeking the goal that is set before you.  None can learn the secret of freedom, save by discipline.
