Dietrich Bonhoeffer – Ethics (page 87)
Christ did not, like a moralist, love a theory of good, but He loved the real man. He was not, like a philosopher, interested in the “universally valid,” but rather in that which is of help to the real and concrete human being. What worried Him was not, like, Kant, whether “the maxim of an action can become a principle of general legislation,” but whether my action is at this moment helping my nieghbour to become a man before God.
