Often the inhabitants of a city where Christ labored wished Him to stay with them and continue to work among them. But He would tell them that He must go to cities that had not heard the truths that He had to present. After He had given the truth to those in one place He left them to build upon what He had given them, while He went to another place. His methods of labor are to be followed today by those to whom He has left His work. We are to go from place to place, carrying the message. As soon as the truth has been proclaimed in one place, we are to go to warn others. {9T 171.4}

Ofte ønskede indbyggerne i en by, hvor Jesus arbejdede, at han skulle blive hos dem og fortsætte sit virke iblandt dem. Men han ville fortælle dem, at han var nød til at gå til andre byer, der endnu ikke havde hørt de sandheder, som han havde at fremholde. Efter at havde forkyndt sandheden for folket et sted, overlod han det til dem at bygge videre på det, han havde givet dem, mens han drog til et andet sted. Hans arbejdsmetoder bør følges af den, han har overladt det til i dag. Vi skal gå fra sted til sted med budskabet. Så snart sandheden er blevet forkyndt på et sted, skal vi gå videre for at advare andre.
