Chapter 23 16 (John 7). Christ’s Sacrifice Provides Bounties—The rivers of blood that flowed at the harvest thanksgiving, when the sacrifices were offered in such large numbers, were meant to teach a great truth. For even the productions of the earth, the bounties provided for man’s sustenance, we are indebted to the offering of Christ upon the cross of Calvary. God teaches us that all we receive from Him is the gift of redeeming love (The Review and Herald, November 10, 1896).{1BC 1107.1}

kapitel 23

16 (Joh. 7). Kristi offer afføder gaver.--De strømme af blod, som flød ved høstfesten, da så mange ofre blev bragt, skulle lære os en stor sandhed. For selv jordens frugter, denne rigelige gave til livets opretholdelse, skyldes Kristi offer på Golgatas kors. Gud ønsker at lære os, at alt, hvad han skænker os, er den forløsende kærligheds gave. (RH Nov. 10, 1896).
