The Angels Were Amazed.

Neither were the angels--Desire of Ages page 752: "With amazement the angels beheld the infinite love of Jesus, who, suffering the most intense agony of mind and body, thought only of others, and encouraged the penitent soul to believe."

Other-centeredness is Not a Narrow View

Forgiveness is other-centered. Mercy is other-centered. Grace is other-centered. Even discipline, when done correctly is other-centered. This means that righteousness, then, is other-centered. The Disciples were told in effect to be other-centered. Go and teach all nations .... and of course love is other centered. God's goverment then is other-centered founded. Sin is the opposite. It is self-centeredness and all that comes with it. It is "the fall" in the Garden of Eden...when those two went from being other-centered to self-centered. Anything good in the Bible happens because of other-centeredness being performed. Anything that is bad in the Bible happens because of self-centeredness. This is in part why for a long time America was great nation...founded on principals of helping you neighbor and doing unto others....other centeredness.....now not so much with prayer and Bible classes a thing of the past for school children. When they grow up they are more selfish than any generation before. And soon our country will cease to exist if this continues because it is not staying with God. No, I do not see other-centeredness as a narrow view of God.
