| We must not speak of a dual outcome here without at the same time emphasizing the //inner necessity// of the idea of apocatastasis. We are unable to resolve thisparadox. On the one hand, the concept of the church, as Christ’s presence in the world which calls for a decision, necessarily demands the dual outcome. The recognition that the gift of God’s boundless love has been received without anymerit would, on the other hand, make it seem just as impossible to exclude othersfrom this gift and this love. | We must not speak of a dual outcome here without at the same time emphasizing the //inner necessity// of the idea of apocatastasis.

| + | Dietrich Bonhoeffer about the problem of success in giving credibility to a cause, and if the fight against or for a successful cause is good. A christian can't give up and say it's not my responsibility anymore. | ||

| + | Christians should be called to action, not by there own suffering, but by the suffering of their brothers. | ||
| + | < | ||
| + | Tatenloses Abwarten und stumpfes Zuschauen sind keine christlichen Haltungen. Den Christen rufen nicht erst die Erfahrungen am eigenen Leibe, sondern die Erfahrungen am Leibe der Brüder, um derentwillen Christus gelitten hat, zur Tat und zum Mitleiden. | ||

| + | Menschen gehen zu Gott in ihrer Not, | ||
| + | flehen um Hilfe, bitten um Glück und Brot, | ||
| + | um Errettung aus Krankheit, Schuld und Tod. | ||
| + | So tun sie alle, alle, Christen und Heiden. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Menschen gehen zu Gott in Seiner Not, | ||
| + | finden ihn arm, geschmäht, ohne Obdach und Brot, | ||
| + | sehn ihn verschlungen von Sünde, | ||
| + | Schwachheit und Tod. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Gott geht zu allen Menschen in ihrer Not, | ||
| + | sättigt den Leib und die Seele mit Seinem Brot, | ||
| + | stirbt für Christen und Heiden den Kreuzestod | ||
| + | und vergibt ihnen beiden. | ||
