Those who take part in God’s work are to be led and guided by Him. Every human ambition is to be merged in Christ, who is the head over all the institutions that God has established. He knows how to set in operation and keep in operation His own agencies. He knows that the cross must occupy the central place because it is the means of man’s atonement and because of the influence it exerts on every part of the divine government. The Lord Jesus, who has been through all the history of our world, understands the methods that should be invested with power over human minds. He knows the importance of every agency and understands how the varied agencies should be related one to another. {6T 235.4}

Dem, som tager del i Guds arbejde skal ledes og føres af ham. Alle menneskelige mål skal forbindes hos Kristus, som er hovedet over alle de institutioner, som Gud har oprettet. Han ved hvordan han sætter sine egne agenter i gang og holder dem i gang. Han ved at (236) korset må have en central plads, fordi det er middel for menneskets udsoning og fordi det har en indflydelse over alle dele i den guddommelige styrelse. Herren Jesus, som har været hele vor verdens historie igennem, forstår de metoder der burde kraftigt indskærpes i menneskesind. Han kender betydningen af hver enkelt organ og forstår hvordan de forskellige organer bør relatere til hinanden.
