The Medical Missionary Work and the Third Angel’s Message - Again and again I have been instructed that the medical missionary work is to bear the same relation to the work of the third angel’s message that the arm and hand bear to the body. Under the direction of the divine Head they are to work unitedly in preparing the way for the coming of Christ. The right arm of the body of truth is to be constantly active, constantly at work, and God will strengthen it. But it is not to be made the body. At the same time the body is not to say to the arm: “I have no need of thee.” The body has need of the arm in order to do active, aggressive work. Both have their appointed work, and each will suffer great loss if worked independently of the other. {6T 288.1}

(288) Igen og igen er jeg blevet undervist om, at sundhedsvirksomheden skal stå i det samme forhold til den tredje engels budskab som armen og hånden til legemet. Under ledelse af ham, som er det guddommelige hoved, skal de arbejde i forening for at berede vejen for Kristi komme. Den højre hånd på sandhedens legeme skal stadig være aktiv, stadig være i virksomhed, så vil Gud styrke den. Men man må ikke gøre den til legemet. På samme tid må legemet ikke sige til armen: "Dig har jeg ikke brug for." Legemet har brug for armen for at kunne udføre aktivt, fremgangsrigt arbejde. Begge har deres bestemte gerning og hver af dem vil lide stort tab ved at blive anvendt uafhængigt af den anden.
