The Saviour's example is to be the standard of our service for the tempted and the erring. The same interest and tenderness and long-suffering that He has manifested toward us, we are to manifest toward others. "As I have loved you," He says, "that ye also love one another." If Christ dwells in us, we shall reveal His unselfish love toward all with whom we have to do. As we see men and women in need of sympathy and help, we shall not ask, "Are they worthy?" but "How can I benefit them?" |

Frelserens eksempel viser standarden for vort arbejde for dem, der fristes og gør fejl. Vi må vise andre den samme interesse og ømhed, som han har vist os. Han sagde: "I skal elske hinanden, ligesom jeg har elsket jer" Joh 15, 12). Hvis Jesus bor i os, må vi vise hans uselviske kærlighed mod alle, som vi møder på vor vej. Når vi ser mænd og kvinder, der har brug for sympati og hjælp, skal vi ikke spørge: "Er de værdige?" men "Hvordan kan jeg hjælpe dem?" |
