The Lord Wants to Disturb Minds—Christ sees men so absorbed in worldly cares and business perplexities that they have no time to become acquainted with Him. To them heaven is a strange place, for they have lost it out of their reckoning. Not familiar with heavenly things, they tire of hearing about them. They dislike to have their minds disturbed concerning their needs of salvation, preferring to engage in amusements. But the Lord wants to disturb their minds, that they may be led to take hold of eternal realities. He is in earnest with them. Very, very soon they will all know Him, whether they desire to or not.— Manuscript 105, 1901.{1MCP 128.1}

(128) Herren ønsker at forstyrre menneskenes sind. - Kristus ser at mennesker er så optaget af verdslige bekymringer og forretningstanker, at de ikke har tid til at blive bekendt med Ham. For dem er himlen et fremmed sted, for de har fået den ud af deres beregninger. Når de ikke er fortrolige med himmelske ting, bliver de træt af at høre om den. De er ikke glad for at have deres tanker forstyrret om deres behov for frelse, og foretrækker fornøjelser. Men Herren ønsker at forstyrre deres tanker, så de kan ledes til at gribe fat i de evige realiteter. Han mener dem det alvorligt. Meget, meget snart vil de alle kende ham, uanset om de ønsker det eller ej. - MS 105, 1901.
