Excerpt: "Dietrich Bonhoeffer writes in The Cost of Discipleship, "The disciple is dragged out of his relative security into a life of absolute insecurity (that is, in truth, into the absolute security and safety of the fellowship of Jesus); from a life which is observable and calculable (it is, in fact, quite incalculable) into a life where everything is unobservable and fortuitous (that is, into one which is necessary and calculable); out of the realm of finite (which is in truth the infinite) into the realm of infinite possibilities (which is the one liberating reality)." ...

Commenting on Mark 2:14 (in which Levi the tax collector loses his job), Bonhoeffer writes, "Had Levi stayed at his post, Jesus might have been his present help in trouble, but not the Lord of his whole life.
