Love of Jesus Mirrored in Parents—When the mother has gained the confidence of her children and taught them to love and obey her, she has given them the first lesson in the Christian life. They must love and trust and obey their Saviour as they love and trust and obey their parents. The love which in faithful care and right training the parent manifests for the child faintly mirrors the love of Jesus for His faithful people.—The Signs of the Times, September 9, 1886, par. 11. (The Adventist Home, 199.) {1MCP 216.3}

Jesu kærlighed genspejles i forældrene. - Når moderen har vundet sine børns tillid og lært dem at elske og adlyde hende, har hun givet dem den første lektie i kristenlivet. De må elske, stole og adlyde deres frelser, idet de elsker, stoler og adlyder deres forældre. Den kærlighed som forældrene i trofast omsorg og rigtig oplæring udviser barnet, afspejler svagt Jesu kærlighed for Hans trofaste folk. - ST, 4. apr., 1911. (AH 199.)
