Chapter 22 2-4 (Luke 14:16, 17). The Heavenly Banquet—The spiritual banquet has been set before us in rich abundance. We have had presented to us by the messengers of God the richest feast—the righteousness of Christ, justification by faith, the exceeding great and precious promises of God in His Word, free access to the Father by Jesus Christ, the comforts of the Holy Spirit, and the well-grounded assurance of eternal life in the kingdom of God. We ask, What could God do for us that He has not done in preparing the great supper, the heavenly banquet (The Review and Herald, January 17, 1899)?{5BC 1097.4}

Kapitel 22

2-4 (Luk. 14,16, 17). Den himmelske fest. - Den åndelige festbanket er blevet sat frem for os i rigt mål. Af Guds budbringere er vi blevet præsenteret for den største fest - Kristi retfærdighed, retfærdiggørelse ved tro, Guds overmådelig store og dyrebare løfter i Hans ord, fri adgang til Faderen ved Jesus Kristus, Helligåndens trøstermand, og den velbegrundede forvisning om evigt liv i Guds rige. Vi spørger: Hvad kunne Gud gøre for os, som han ikke har gjort i forberedelsen af den store nadver, den himmelske fest (RH 17. jan., 1899)?
