"Discover your true selves in the death of Jesus."

I'm still working my way through Dietrich Bonhoeffer's The Cost of Discipleship. The latter part of the book had been a bit of a struggle for me, but on p. 276, in his chapter called, "The Saints," in the midst of a discussion of Romans 3 (and how the righteousness of God Himself is ours through faith), Bonhoeffer says this:

Discover your true selves in the death of Jesus, in the righteousness of God which is granted there to us.

I facilitate a small-group and in that setting especially I see again and again that we need to make this great discovery anew each day. It is at the cross that burdens are lifted, fear and worry washed away, and the majestic mercy of God is on full display.

Come, everyone who thirsts,
come to the waters;
and he who has no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without price. Isaiah 55:1
