When Christ Calls A Man Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

„When Christ calls a man,
he bids him „come and die".

He knew by experience
the truth of his statement.

Arrested by Gestapo,
he inspired his guards
in prison and in
concentration camps.

He obtained permission
to minister to his
fellow prisoners,
and his ability to
comfort the anxious
and depressed
was amazing.

A few days before
the liberation of his
concentration camp,
he was executed.

(This was the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer
of Germany during the Hitler's regime) .
(His „The cost of Discipleship"
is a powerful attack
on an „easy Christianity") .
