God’s Purpose FulfilledChrist desires by the fullness of His power so to strengthen His people that through them the whole world shall be encircled with an atmosphere of grace. When His people shall make a wholehearted surrender of themselves to God, this purpose will be accomplished. The word of the Lord to those connected with His institutions is: “Be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord.” Isaiah 52:11. In all our institutions let self-seeking give place to unselfish love and labor for souls nigh and afar off. Then the holy oil will be emptied from the two olive branches into the golden pipes, which will empty themselves into the vessels prepared to receive it. Then the lives of Christ’s workers will indeed be an exposition of the truths of His word. {7T 148.1}

Guds mål opfyldt
Kristus ønsker at styrke sit folk med sin krafts fylde, for at hele verden gennem dette kan blive omsluttet af en nådens atmosfære. Når Guds folk helhjertet overgiver sig til Ham, vil denne hensigt blive fuldført. Herrens ord til dem, der er knyttet til hans institutioner, er: »Tvæt jer, I, som bærer Herrens kar!« Es. 52,11. I alle vore institutioner bør egoisme vige pladsen for uegennyttig kærlighed og arbejde for sjæle nær og fjern. Da vil den hellige olie strømme fra de to oliegrene gennem guldrørene og ud i karret, der er beredt til at modtage den. Da vil Kristi medarbejderes liv virkelig blive en fremstilling af sandheden i hans ord.
