"When the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come." Christ is waiting with longing desire for the manifestation of Himself in His church. When the character of Christ shall be perfectly reproduced in His people, then He will come to claim them as His own.

Det er ikke blot enhver kristens forret at vente på Guds dags komme, men også at fremskynde den. Hvor hurtigt ville ikke hele verden blive tilsået med evangeliets sæd, hvis alle, der bekender sig til at tro på hans navn, ville bære frugt til hans ære. Den sidste store høst ville hurtigt modnes, og Kristus ville komme for at indsamle det dyrebare korn.
