"The call of Christ, his baptism, sets the Christian in the middle of the daily arena against sin and the devil. Every day he encounters new temptations, and every day he must suffer anew for Jesus Christ's sake. The wounds and scars he receives in the fray are living tokens of this participation in the cross of his Lord."
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship (Ch. 4, Discipleship and the Cross)
