Tiepolo, Resurrection of Christ, 1753
Believers do not believe in people or in the good in people that ultimately must triumph; they also do not believe in the church, in its human power. Rather, believers believe solely in God, who creates and does the impossible, who creates life out of death, who has called the dying church to life against and in spite of us and through us. But God does it alone.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, from God Is On The Cross: Reflections on Lent and Easter
