Christ’s Relation to NationalityChrist recognized no distinction of nationality or rank or creed. The scribes and Pharisees desired to make a local and a national benefit of all the gifts of heaven and to exclude the rest of God’s family in the world. But Christ came to break down every wall of partition. He came to show that His gift of mercy and love is as unconfined as the air, the light, or the showers of rain that refresh the earth. {9T 190.4}

Kristi forhold til nationalitet
[Kristus anerkendte ingen forskel på nationalitet, rang eller trosbekendelse. Farisæerne og de skriftkloge ønskede at gøre alle himmelens gaver til en lokal og national fordel og at udelukke resten af Guds familie fra dem. Men Kristus kom for at nedbryde alle skillevægge. Han kom for at vise, at hans nådes og kærligheds gave er lige så frit tilgængelig som luften, lyset eller regnbyerne som kvæger jorden.
