Many are unwilling to accept of Christ until the whole mystery of the plan of salvation shall be made plain to them. They refuse the look of faith, although they see that thousands have looked, and have felt the efficacy of looking, to the cross of Christ. Many wander in the mazes of philosophy, in search of reasons and evidence which they will never find, while they reject the evidence which God has been pleased to give. They refuse to walk in the light of the Sun of Righteousness, until the reason of its shining shall be explained. All who persist in this course will fail to come to a knowledge of the truth. God will never remove every occasion for doubt. He gives sufficient evidence on which to base faith, and if this is not accepted, the mind is left in darkness. If those who were bitten by the serpents had stopped to doubt and question before they would consent to look, they would have perished. It is our duty, first, to look; and the look of faith will give us life.

Hvis vi indser vor trang, skal vi ikke spilde vor energi på at sørge over vor tilstand. Vi skal ikke lade os besejre af modløshed, når vi er blevet klar over, at vor situation er håbløs uden Kristus, men stole på en korsfæstet og opstanden frelsers fortjenester. Se og lev. Jesus har påtaget sig ansvaret for verden. Han vil frelse alle dem, der kommer til ham. Selv om millioner af mennesker, som trænger til helbredelse, vil forkaste hans tilbud om nåde, vil ikke en eneste af dem, som stoler på hans fortjenester, gå fortabt.
