When the messengers of Christ who go forth to teach the truth to others are rejected and their words find no place in the heart, Christ is rejected and His word despised in the messengers of truth whom He has chosen and sent. This has just as full an application in this age of the world as it had when Christ gave the instruction to His chosen messengers. {3T 450.1}

Når Kristi budbringere som gik ud for at lære sandheden til andre, blev de forkastet og deres ord ikke fandt plads i hjertet, så er det Kristus, som er forkastet og hans ord foragtet i de Kristus udsendte sandhedsbudbringere. Dette har lige så stor en betydning i denne verdens tidsalder som det havde da Kristus gav sine udvalgte budbringere belæring.
