Section 17—Laboring for Special Classes (Ev 552) MC VC
Working for All Classes VC
Preach the Truth to All Classes—The gospel invitation is to be given to the rich and the poor, the high and the low, and we must devise means for carrying the truth into new places, and to all classes of people.—Medical Ministry, 312 (1899). (Ev 552.1) MC VC
Give Them an Opportunity to Understand—Let none receive the idea that the poor and unlearned are to be neglected. Right methods of labor will not in any sense exclude these. It was one of the evidences of Christ’s Messiahship that the poor had the gospel preached to them. We should study to give all classes an opportunity to understand the special truths for this time.—The Review and Herald, November 25, 1890. (Ev 552.2) MC VC
A Saving Message for Every Soul—Many have a deep sense of need—a need that earthly riches or pleasures cannot supply; but they know not how to receive that for which they are longing. (Ev 552.3) MC VC
The gospel of Christ is from beginning to end the gospel of saving grace. It is a distinctive and controlling idea. It will be a help to the needy, light for the eyes that are blind to the truth, and a guide to souls seeking for the true foundation. Full and everlasting salvation is within the reach of every soul. Christ is waiting and longing to speak pardon, and impart the freely offered grace. He is watching and waiting, saying as He said to the blind man at the gate of Jericho, “What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?” Mark 10:51. “I will take away thy sins; I will wash you in My blood.” (Ev 552.4) MC VC
