A Close Look at the Messages of Ellen White
By Juan Carlos Viera
Thought for the Day
If Nathanael had trusted to the rabbis for guidance, he would never have found Jesus. It was by seeing and judging for himself that he became a disciple. ... So in the case of many today... they trust to the guidance of human authority, none will come to a saving knowledge of the truth. Like Nathanael, we need to study God's word for ourselves, and pray for the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit. Desire of Ages, pp. 140, 141
