Shall we not, by self-denial, do all that we can to advance God’s enterprise of mercy? Can we behold the divine condescension, the suffering endured by the Son of God, without being filled with a desire to be allowed to sacrifice something for Him? Is it not a high honor to be allowed to co-operate with Him? He left His heavenly home to seek for us. Shall we not become His undershepherds, to seek for the lost and straying? Shall we not reveal in our lives His divine tenderness and compassion? {9T 54.1} | |

Bør vi ikke fornægte os og gøre alt det, vi formår, for at fremme Guds nådeværk på jorden? Kan vi betragte den guddommelige nedladenhed, den lidelse, Guds søn udstod for os, uden at fyldes med ønsket om at få en anledning til at opofre noget for ham. Han forlod sit himmelske hjem for at frelse os. Skal vi så ikke blive hans underhyrder og søge efter det bortkomne og tabte? Bør ikke vort levned afspejle hans guddommelige ømhed og medlidenhed? |
