Men are needed for this time who can understand the wants of the people and minister to their necessities. The faithful minister of Christ watches at every outpost to warn, to reprove, to counsel, to entreat, and to encourage his fellow men, laboring with the Spirit of God which worketh in him mightily, that he may present every man perfect in Christ. Such a man is acknowledged in heaven as a minister, treading in the footsteps of his great Exemplar. {4T 416.2}

Der er i denne tid brug for mennesker, som kan forstå folks behov og tjene deres fornødenheder. Kristi trofaste tjener våger på enhver udpost, for at advare, irettesætte, råde, bede og opmuntre sine medmennesker, arbejde med Guds Ånd som virker mægtigt i ham, så han kan fremstille hvert menneske fuldkommet i Kristus. Et sådant menneske anerkendes i himlen som en tjener, der træder i sit store Forbilledes fodspor.
