Those at the Health Institute are engaged in a great work. During the life of Christ the sick and afflicted were objects of His special care. When He sent out His disciples He commissioned them to heal the sick as well as to preach the gospel. When He sent forth the seventy He commanded them to heal the sick, and next to preach that the kingdom of God had come nigh unto them. Their physical health was to be first cared for, in order that the way might be prepared for their minds to be reached by those truths which the apostles were to preach. {4T 225.1}

Dem på Helseinstituttet er forpligtet i et stort værk. Under Kristi liv var syge og plagede genstand for hans særlige omsorg. Da han sendte sine disciple ud hvervede han dem til at helbrede den syge såvel som at forkynde evangeliet. Da han sendte de halvfjerdsindstyve ud påbød han dem at helbrede syge og derefter forkynde at Guds rige var kommet nær til dem. Deres fysiske sundhed skulle der først sørges for, for at vejen kunne beredes for dem og de sandheder nåede dem, som apostlene forkyndte.
