Quote by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Christian love draws no distinction between one enemy and another, except that the more bitter our enemy's hatred, the greater his need of love. Be his enmity political or religious, he has nothing to expect from a follower of Jesus but unqualified love. In such love there is not inner discord between the private person and official capacity. In both we are disciples of Christ, or we are not Christians at all.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the concept of Christian love being unconditional and undiscriminating towards enemies. It highlights that regardless of the intensity of someone's hatred, whether it is based on political or religious differences, a follower of Jesus should respond with unqualified love. The quote further suggests that this love should be consistent in both personal and official capacities, implying that being a true Christian means embodying this love in all aspects of life.
