"'Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friend,' has nothing to do with Christianity; an atheist will do this, or a blackguard, or a Christian; there is nothing divine about it, it is the great stuff that human nature is made of. The love of God is manifested in that He laid down His life for His enemies, something no man can do."

Oswald Chambers, The Shadow of An Agony

Oh, how true! We cannot compare God with ourselves. There is no comparison.
