Power and Light in the Message

By A. SMITH

A. SMITH
The third angel’s message is the message of Jesus Christ to the last generation of men. This fact to a true Seventh-day Adventist needs no demonstration. As the proof of the resurrection of Christ, of the final resurrection of all mankind, and of the salvation of those made righteous through Christ was the particular phase of the everlasting gospel in the apostles’ days, so the third angel’s message is the particular phase of the same gospel for the last days.
As truly as the followers of Christ were commanded to go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature, just so truly are we commanded to go into all the world, and preach the third angel’s message to “every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people.”
The power of God is pledged to co-operate with his remnant people in carrying the work to successful completion. Therefore all the wisdom, power, light, or graces of the Spirit that we as a people or as individuals can ever need, may be found within the scope of this message. There is no call for, nor excuse for, our people to give favorable attention to side issues, nor to follow the will-o’-the-wisps of sensational movements.
