Bring Christ into your life. Do not feel that you are answerable for the wrong course of others, even though they are in the church. There are in the church unfaithful ones who treat Jesus far worse than they treat you. Were He on earth, they would insult Him, revile Him, defame Him. “It must needs be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh.” “It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” Matthew 18:7, 6. {8T 129.4}

Bring Kristus ind i dit liv. Føl ikke at du er ansvarlig over for andres opførsel, selvom de er (130) i menigheden. Der er upålidelige mennesker i menigheden som behandler Jesus langt værre end de behandler dig. Var han på jorden ville de håne og spotte ham, bagtale ham. »Ve verden for forargelserne! Thi vel er det nødvendigt, at forargelser kommer, dog, ve det menneske, ved hvem forargelsen kommer!« »Men den, der forarger en af disse små, som tror på mig, ham var det bedre, at der var hængt en møllesten om hans hals og han var sænket i havets dyb.« Matt.18,7.6.
