In the school of Christ, students are never graduated. Among the pupils are both old and young. Those who give heed to the instructions of the divine Teacher constantly advance in wisdom, refinement, and nobility of soul, and thus they are prepared to enter that higher school where advancement will continue throughout eternity. {CT 51.1}

I Kristi skole, bliver de studerende aldrig færdiguddannet. Iblandt eleverne er både gamle og unge. Dem som giver agt på den guddommelige Lærers instrukser vokser hele tiden i Sjælens visdom, forædling og pænhed, og derved er de beredt til at gå ind i den højere skole, hvor væksten vil fortsætte ud i evigheden.
