Friedrich Schleiermacher

Here is a quote from the 18th century German theologian, Friedrich Schleiermacher:

God is that on which we feel dependent; sin is a failure of our sense of dependence. Christ is the man who was utterly dependent on God in every thought, word, and action- a dependence that added up to an existence of God in him. Christ's mission was to communicate this sense of dependence to others.
