The tomb was sealed and the men went home
As we come to Good Friday, I am reminded of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He had faced the growing threat of Hitler -- who had designated himself as “Führer” of Germany (and soon the world). Most of us did not understand that that title had been applied to the Christ in the German churches. He helped in the founding of the Confessing Church because he saw the churches being co-opted by a madman. As a result, he was Public Enemy #1, so to speak, in Germany. His friends smuggled him out of the country and found him a teaching job here in America.
