Dietrich Bonhoeffer on Christ in the Stillness - Christocentric (Psalm 46:10)

Source: Dietrich Bonhoeffer54 words

"Be still and know—and what do we know? We know Christ. He is the revelation of God; in Him we see who God is. Stillness before Christ, meditation on His word, contemplation of His cross—here we know that He is God. Christ is the content of the knowing." — Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Christocentric: knowing Christ.
