6. Ministers to Teach Liberality—There is a lesson also in this chapter to those who are working in the cause of God. Paul says, “We desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also”—that is, make you to abound in the grace of liberality. A responsibility rests upon the ministers of Christ to educate the churches to be liberal. Even the poor are to have a part in presenting their offerings to God. They are to be sharers of the grace of Christ in denying self to help those whose need is more pressing than their own. Why should the poor saints be denied the blessing of giving to aid those who are still poorer than themselves (MS 28, 1894)?{6BC 1103.4}

6. Prædikanter der underviser i gavmildhed. - I dette kapitel er der også en lektie til dem som arbejder i Guds sag. Paulus siger: ”Dette har fået os til at bede Titus om nu at bringe også indsamlingen af denne kærlighedsgave hos jer til afslutning, ligesom han før havde begyndt på den.” - som er at få jer til at forblive i gavmildhedens nådegave. Et ansvar påhviler Kristi prædikanter at uddanne menighederne til at være gavmilde. Også de fattige skal have del i at give deres ofre til Gud. De skal have del i Kristi nåde, at fornægte selvet og hjælpe dem som har større behov end de selv. Hvorfor skulle de fattige hellige nægtes velsignelsen at give en hjælp til dem som er endnu fattigere end dem selv (MS 28, 1894)?
