If we but realized how earnestly Jesus worked to sow the world with gospel seed, we, living at the very close of probation, would labor untiringly to give the bread of life to perishing souls. Why are we so cold and indifferent? Why are our hearts so unimpressible? Why are we so unwilling to give ourselves to the work to which Christ consecrated His life? Something must be done to cure the terrible indifference that has taken hold upon us. Let us bow our heads in humiliation as we see how much less we have done than we might have done to sow the seeds of truth. {8T 46.2}

Hvis vi dog indså hvor alvorligt Jesus arbejdede for at tilså verden med ordets sæd, ville vi, som lever i prøvetidens afslutning, arbejde utrætteligt på at give livets brød for fortabte sjæle. Hvorfor er vi så kolde og ligegyldige? Hvorfor er vore hjerter så uimodtagelige? Hvorfor er vi så uvillige til at give (47) os selv til den gerning, Kristus helligede sit liv til? Nogen ting må gøres for at kurere den frygtelige ligegyldighed som har grebet fat i os. Lad os bøje vore hjerter i ydmyghed så vi ser hvor meget mindre vi har gjort end vi kunne have gjort for at så sandhedens sæd.
