"Our lesson for the present time
is, How may we most clearly comprehend and present the gospel that Jesus
came in person to present to John on the Isle of Patmos,-- the gospel
that is termed "the revelation of Jesus Christ"? (Revelation 1:1)
We are to present to
our people a clear explanation of Revelation. --No one mind can do this work alone.
Although we have in
trust the grandest and most important truth ever presented to the world,
we are only babes, as far as understanding truth in all its bearings is
concerned.
Christ is the great teacher, and that which He revealed to
John, we are to tax our minds to understand and clearly to define. We
are facing the most important issues that men have been called upon to
meet.
The theme of greatest importance is the
third angels message, embracing the message of the first and second
angels. All should understand the truths contained in these messages-
and demonstrate them in daily life, for this is essential to salvation.
We shall have to study earnestly, and prayerfully, in order to
understand these grand truths."
Letter 97, 1902 E.G.W.
