Dietrich Bonhoeffer on Christ as Total Reality - Christocentric (John 14:6)

Source: Dietrich Bonhoeffer63 words

"In Christ we see God, and in Christ we see what humanity is meant to be. There is no truth about God or humanity apart from Him. He does not merely show the way; He IS the way. He does not merely teach truth; He IS the truth. This is Christocentricity." — Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Christ is not pointer to truth; Christ IS truth.
