Martin Luther wrote: "I will give myself as a sort of Christ to my neighbor as Christ gave himself for me." Temple Gairdner, the Cairo missionary, said that he added to the apostle's word "Christ liveth in me," yet another word, "Christ loveth through me."
Oliver Dryer, the Scottish preacher, declared as follows in a sermon, "Is the New Order to Be Secular?": "There can be no true love of God which is not united with love of and service to one's neighbor; and, on the other hand, there can be no true service to our neighbor except there enter into it something eternal, redemptive and universal that proceeds from a profound sense of love and service to God."
Kenneth E. Kirk in his 1928 Bampton Lectures, The Vision of God, observed that "the path of self-sacrifice is only possible to the man who can forget himself, who can 'disinfect himself from egoism,' whose mind is not centered upon himself but upon his fellows and their needs, and at most at best upon God and his neighbors seen through the eyes of God."
