I was referred to Christ’s Sermon on the Mount. Here we have the injunction of the Great Teacher: “All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” This command of Christ is of the highest importance and should be strictly obeyed. It is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. How many carry out in their lives the principle Christ has here enjoined, and deal with others just as they would wish to be dealt with under similar circumstances? Reader, please answer. {4T 310.1}

Jeg blev henvist til Kristi bjergprædiken. Her har vi den guddommelige lærers påbud: »Alt, hvad I vil, at menneskene skal gøre mod jer, det samme skal I gøre mod dem; thi sådan er loven og profeterne.« Denne Kristi befaling er af den største betydning og bør nøje adlydes. Den er som æbler af guld i skåle af sølv. Hvor mange gennemfører i deres liv det princip, Kristus her har pålagt os og behandler andre, som de selv ville ønske at blive behandlet under lignende forhold? Læser, vær så venlig at svare!
