You both need to come more into sympathy with other minds. Christ is our example; He identified Himself with suffering humanity; He made the necessities of others a consideration of His own. When His brethren suffered, He suffered with them. Any slight or neglect of His disciples is the same as if done to Christ Himself. Thus He says: “I was an hungered, and ye gave Me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave Me no drink.” {4T 63.3}

I behøver begge at komme i større harmoni med andre mennesker. Kristus er vort eksempel; han identificerede sig selv med lidende mennesker, han gjorde andres behov til sin egen betaling. Når hans brødre led, led han sammen med dem. Enhver ringeagt eller forsømmelse hans disciple begår, er det samme som den begås mod Kristus selv. Han siger: »Jeg var sulten og I gav mig ikke at spise, jeg var tørstig og I gav mig ikke at drikke."
