Study Christ’s definition of a true missionary: “Whosoever will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.” Mark 8:34. Following Christ, as spoken of in these words, is not a pretense, a farce. Jesus expects His disciples to follow closely in His footsteps, enduring what He endured, suffering what He suffered, overcoming as He overcame. He is anxiously waiting to see His professed followers revealing the spirit of self-sacrifice. {8T 209.3}

Studér Kristi definition på en sand missionær: »Hvis nogen vil gå i mit spor, skal han fornægte sig selv og tage sit kors op og følge mig!« Mark.8,34. At følge Kristus, som det står i disse ord, er ikke et krav, ikke en farce. Jesus forventer at hans disciple følger nøje i hans fodspor, udholder hvad han har udholdt, lide hvad han led, overvinde som han overvandt. Han venter ivrigt på at se hans bekendende efterfølgere åbenbare selvopofrelse.
