Writing in a way consistent with the theme of God’s Great Reversal (where the high are brought low so that the low might be brought high – see Luke 1:46-56), German theologian and Christian martyr, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, wrote:
“The people who love, because they are freed through the truth of God, are THE most revolutionary people on earth. They are the ones who upset all values; they are the explosives in human society. Such persons are the most dangerous. For they have recognized that people are untruthful in the extreme, and they are ready at any time, and just for the sake of love, to permit the light of truth to fall on them. This disturbance of peace, which comes to the world through these people, provokes the world’s hatred. Therefore, the knight of truth and love is NOT the hero whom people worship and honor, who is free from enemies, but the one whom they cast out, whom they want to get rid of, whom they declare an outlaw, whom they kill. The way, which God’s truth in the world has gone, leads to the cross.” (From A Testament to Freedom, p. 206)
