Come Close to Suffering Humanity—Christ has left us an example, that we should follow in His steps. He always drew near to the most needy, the most hopeless, and, attracted by His sympathy, they came close to Him. He assures every suffering, needy, sinful soul that he will never want for a great Physician to give him spiritual help. We stand too far away from suffering humanity. Let us draw nearer to Christ, that our souls may be filled with His grace, and with a desire to give this grace to others.—Letter 17, 1903. {Ev 524.3}

Kom nær til den lidende menneskehed. - Kristus har efterladt os et eksempel, at vi skal følge i Hans fodspor. Han drager altid nær til den mest trængende, og mest håbløse, og tiltrækkes af Hans forståelse, de kommer nær til Ham. Han forsikrer enhver lidende menneskehed. Lad os drage nærmere til Kristus, så vore sjæle må fyldes med Hans nåde, og med et ønske om at give denne nåde til andre. - brev 17, 1903.
