Testimonies for the Church, Volume 9 - Ellen G. White

Chapter 105
A Lesson from Christ’s
Labors
On one occasion, while Christ was in the midst
of His work of teaching and healing, one of the
company assembled about Him said: "Master,
speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance
with me." (Luke 12:13)
This man had witnessed Christ's wonderful
works. He had been astonished at the clearness of
His comprehension, His superior judgment, and the
fairness with which He viewed the cases brought to
Him. He heard Christ's stirring appeals and His
solemn denunciations of the scribes and Pharisees.
If words of such command could be spoken to this
brother, he would not dare to refuse the aggrieved
man his portion. He solicited Christ's influence on
his side. "Speak to my brother," he said, "that he
divide the inheritance with me."
