Christ revealed God to His disciples in a way that performed in their hearts a special work, such as He has long been urging us to allow Him to do in our hearts. There are many who, in dwelling too largely upon theory, have lost sight of the living power of the Saviour’s example. They have lost sight of Him as the humble, self-denying worker. What they need is to behold Jesus. Daily we need the fresh revealing of His presence. We need to follow more closely His example of self-renunciation and sacrifice. {8T 317.2}

Kristus åbenbarede Gud for sine disciple, så der blev gjort et særligt arbejde i deres hjerter; ligesom han længe har tilskyndet os, at lade ham komme ind i vore hjerter. Der er mange, som har mistet Frelsereksemplets levende kraft af syne, fordi de har dvælet for meget på teorien. De har mistet ham, som den ydmyge selvfornægtende medarbejder, af syne. Hvad de behøver er at se på Jesus. Vi behøver daglig en ny åbenbaring af hans nærhed. Vi behøver at følge hans selvfornægtende og selvopofrende eksempel nøjere.
