A paragraph selected from a letter of one of Mrs. White's secretaries, expressing his opinion as to the importance
of studying the question of the 144,000, has been presented in certain printed
works as of Ellen G. White origin. See Selected Messages, book 1, pp.
174, 175, for the Ellen G. White position.
Thought for the Day
Christ became one flesh with us, in order that we might become one spirit with Him. It is by virtue of this union that we are to come forth from the grave,--not merely as a manifestation of the power of Christ, but because, through faith, His life has become ours. Those who see Christ in His true character, and receive Him into the heart, have everlasting life. It is through the Spirit that Christ dwells in us; and the Spirit of God, received into the heart by faith, is the beginning of the life eternal. Desire of Ages, p. 388
