It is your work to study and to imitate the Pattern. Was Christ self-denying? so must you be. Was He meek and lowly? so must you be. Was He zealous in the work of saving souls? so must you be. Did He labor to promote the glory of His Father? so must you. Did He often seek help from God? so must you. Was Christ patient? so will you be patient. As Christ forgave His enemies, so will you forgive. {5T 160.3} | |

Det er dit arbejde at studere og efterligne Forbilledet. Var (161) Kristus selvfornægtende? så bør I være så. Var han ydmyg og sagtmodig? så bør I være så. Var han nidkær for det sjælevindende arbejde? så bør I være så. Arbejdede han for at fremme sin Faders ære? så bør I være så. Søgte han ofte hjælp fra Gud? så bør I være så. Var Kristus tålmodig? så bør I være tålmodige. Ligesom Kristus tilgav sine fjender, således må I tilgive. |
