I cannot find an instance in the life of Christ where He devoted time to play and amusement. He was the great educator for the present and the future life, yet I have not been able to find one instance where He taught the disciples to engage in amusement in order to gain physical exercise. The world’s Redeemer gives to every man his work and bids him, “Occupy till I come.” Luke 19:13. In doing this the heart warms to the enterprise. All the powers of the being are enlisted in the effort to obey. We have a high and holy calling. Teachers and students are to be stewards of the grace of Christ, and they are always to be earnest. {CT 309.1}

Jeg kan ikke finde noget i Kristi liv hvor han brugte tid på leg og fornøjelse. Han var den store underviser for nutiden og for det fremtidige liv, alligevel har jeg ikke kunne finde nogen situation hvor Han lærte disciplene at engagere sig i fornøjelser for at få fysiske øvelser. Verdens Genløser giver ethvert menneske sit arbejde og påbyder ham: »Driv handel med dem, indtil jeg kommer tilbage.« Luk 19,13. Når I gør dette varmes hjertet til virksomhed. Alle menneskets kræfter bruges til at adlyde. Vi har et højt og helligt kald. Lærere og studerende skal være Kristi nådes forvaltere, og de skal altid være ivrige.
