Today is the anniversary of the day in 1945 when Deitrich Bonhoeffer was hanged by the Nazi’s. Bonhoeffer is remembered for a ton of things, including numerous theological works and taking a stand against the Nazi regime in Germany.

The night before he died, he said this: “This is the end – for me, the beginning.”

I found it helpful to remember his words this holy week, since we celebrate the end of the reign of sin and evil and the beginning of true life with God.
