Wonderful is the work which God designs to accomplish through His servants, that His name may be glorified. God made Joseph a fountain of life to the Egyptian nation. Through Joseph the life of that whole people was preserved. Through Daniel God saved the life of all the wise men of Babylon. And these deliverances were as object lessons; they illustrated to the people the spiritual blessings offered them through connection with the God whom Joseph and Daniel worshiped. So through His people today God desires to bring blessings to the world. Every worker in whose heart Christ abides, everyone who will show forth His love to the world, is a worker together with God for the blessing of humanity. As he receives from the Saviour grace to impart to others, from his whole being flows forth the tide of spiritual life. Christ came as the Great Physician to heal the wounds that sin has made in the human family; and His Spirit, working through His servants, imparts to sin-sick, suffering human beings a mighty healing power that is efficacious for the body and the soul. “In that day,” says the Scriptures, “there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.” Zechariah 13:1. The waters of this fountain contain medicinal properties that will heal both physical and spiritual infirmities. {6T 227.2}

Underfuld er den gerning, Gud har til hensigt at udføre gennem sine tjenere, for at hans navn kan blive herliggjort. Gud gjorde Josef til en livets kilde for den ægyptiske nation. Ved Josef blev hele dette folks liv bevaret. Ved Daniel frelste han alle de vise mænds liv i Babylon. Og disse befrielser var som en anskuelsesundervisning; de var for folket en illustration af de åndelige velsignelser, der blev dem tilbudt gennem forbindelse med den Gud, Josef og Daniel tilbad. Således ønsker Gud gennem sit folk i dag at bringe velsignelse til verden. Enhver arbejder, i hvis hjerte Kristus bor, enhver som vil vise verden hans kærlighed, er en Guds medarbejder til velsignelse for menneskeheden. Når han af Frelseren modtager nåde at meddele til andre, udvælder der fra hele hans væsen en strøm af åndeligt liv. Kristus kom som den store Læge for at hele de sår, synden har frembragt hos menneskeslægten og hans ånd, der virker gennem hans tjenere, meddeler syndbetyngede, lidende mennesker en mægtig lægende kraft, som virker både på legeme og sjæl. »På hin dag,« siger skriften, »skal en kilde vælde frem for Davids hus og Jerusalems indbyggere mod synd og urenhed.« Zak. 13,1. Vandene i denne kilde indeholder lægende egenskaber, der vil helbrede både fysiske og åndelige skrøbeligheder.
