To the apostle John on the Isle of Patmos were revealed the things which God desired him to give to the people. Study these revelations. Here are themes worthy of our contemplation, large and comprehensive lessons which all the angelic host are now seeking to communicate. Behold the life and character of Christ, and study His mediatorial work. Here is infinite wisdom, infinite love, infinite justice, infinite mercy. Here are depths and heights, lengths and breadths, for our consideration. Numberless pens have been employed in presenting to the world the life, the character, and the mediatorial work of Christ, and yet every mind through which the Holy Spirit has worked has presented these themes in a light that is fresh and new. {6T 59.1}

Apostlen Johannes på øen Patmos fik åbenbaret de ting, som Gud ønskede at han skal give folk. Studér disse åbenbaringer. Her er der temaer, det er værd vi tænker over, store og omfattende lektier, som hele englehæren nu forsøger at bringe videre. Betragt Kristi liv og karakter og studér hans midlergerning. Her er uendelig visdom, uendelig kærlighed, uendelig retfærdighed, uendelig barmhjertighed. Her er dybder og højder, længder og bredter vi kan overveje. Utallige penne er blevet brugt til at fremstille Kristi liv, karakter og midlergerning for verden og dog har hvert menneske, som Helligånden har arbejdet i, overbragt dette tema i et lys, som er friskt og nyt.
