Glorious were the results that attended the ministry of the chosen apostles of Christ. At the beginning of their ministry some of them were unlearned men, but their 594 consecration to the cause of their Master was unreserved, and under His instruction they gained a preparation for the great work committed to them. Grace and truth reigned in their hearts, inspiring their motives and controlling their actions. Their lives were hid with Christ in God, and self was lost sight of, submerged in the depths of infinite love.

Det var vidunderligt, hvad der lykkedes ved Kristi udvalgte apostles tjeneste. Ved begyndelsen af deres forkyndergerning var nogle af dem ulærde mænd, men deres indvielse til Mesterens gerning var uden forbehold og ved hans vejledning blev de forberedt til den store opgave, der var dem betroet. Nåden og sandheden herskede i deres hjerter, indgav dem deres motiver og styrede deres handlinger. Deres liv var skjult med Kristus i Gud og deres eget jeg forsvandt, nedsænket i den evige kærligheds dyb.
