Bonhoeffer was horrified by the heartlessness of injustice. In this quote, he calls us to do whatever is necessary to stop the wheels of state injustice. He is calling on us as Christians to speak out against evil and hold the government accountable for doing that which is just. By doing this with love and compassion, we bind the wounds of those injured by the government. It is important that we continue to help and heal those who are most harmed, most oppressed and most in need.
