  （1891年3月15日，星期日，写于密歇根州巴特尔克里克）
1891年3月15日，星期日。我出席了传道人的晨更聚会。主的福气临到我，我讲话大有上帝之灵的彰显及能力。有人划出了一个很大的范围。主将世界交给基督服务。传道工作不只是讲道。主希望祂的传道工人居于最值得考虑的地位。在上帝心中，男男女女的服务在创世以前就存在了。祂定意让祂的传道人完美地表现祂自己和祂的旨意。没有人可以完成此工；上帝赐下基督在人性中实现了人类藉着完全顺从上帝的旨意和道路可以达到的理想状态。上帝的品格在祂儿子的生命中彰显出来。基督不仅仅拥有真服务的理论，而且在祂的人性中活出了上帝所嘉许的服务的榜样。真服务的每一个特征都带有完全的标志。永生上帝的儿子基督，不为自己活，乃为上帝活。怀爱伦著作托管委员会1988年3月3日于美国首都华盛顿发表，第7页。{18MR 380.1}[1]

  (Diary entry for Sunday, March 15, 1891. written in Battle Creek, Michigan.)
Sunday March 15, 1891. I attended the morning ministers' meeting. The blessing of the Lord came upon me, and I spoke in the demonstration of the Spirit of God and with power. There are those who are working out a great circle. The Lord has given Christ to the world for ministry. Merely to preach the Word is not ministry. The Lord desires His ministering servants to occupy a place worthy of the highest consideration. In the mind of God, the ministry of men and women existed before the world was created. He determined that His ministers should have a perfect exemplification of Himself and His purposes. No human career could do this work; for God gave Christ in humanity to work out His ideal of what humanity may become through entire obedience to His will and way. God's character was revealed in the life of His Son. Christ not only held a theory of genuine ministry, but in His humanity He wrought out an illustration of the ministry that God approves. Perfection has marked out every feature of true ministry. Christ, the Son of the living God, did not live unto Himself, but unto God. Ellen G. White Estate Washington, D.C. March 3, 1988. p. 7. {18MR 380.1}[1]
