Re: Following Jesus - sayings and aphorisms by Kierkegaard

As Nicodemus came at night, so a king comes to Christ at night and wants to

be a disciple. I wonder what Christ might say to him. “If you want to 
continue being what you are – a king –then fear nothing from me; my
kingdom 
is not of this world. I will be your subject like anyone else, will be
your 
humble and loyal subject, and I will teach my disciples to be the same.
But 
if you want to be a disciple – oh, man, then I am the king. Take off your 
crown, give everything away, follow me.”
