Voice of the Day: Dietrich Bonhoeffer

“We can of course shake off the burden which is laid upon us, but only find that we have a still heavier burden to carry — a yoke of our own choosing, the yoke of our self. But Jesus invites all who travail and are heavy laden to throw off their own yoke and take his yoke upon them — and his yoke is easy, and his burden is light. The yoke and burden of Christ are his cross.”

— Dietrich Bonhoeffer
