“A Christian fellowship lives and exists by the intercession of its members for one another, or it collapses. I can no longer condemn or hate a brother for whom I pray, no matter how much trouble he causes me. His face, that hitherto may have been strange and intolerable to me, is transformed in intercession into the countenance of a brother for whom Christ died, the face of a forgiven sinner.”
![“Those [Christians] had left to love on earth were then: brothers and sisters in hatred, whom they called then: brothers and sisters in love.” quote by Georg Brandes](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/6e6/georg-brandes-10610_brother_those-christians-had-left-to-love-on-ear_1120095.jpg)
