“And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on Me through their word; that they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me. And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are one: I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me.” Christ brought human nature into a personal relation with His own divinity. Thus He has given a center for the faith of the universe to fasten upon. {TM 124.2}

»Og jeg helliger mig selv for dem, for at også de må være helligede ved sandheden. Ikke alene for disse beder jeg, men også for dem, som ved deres ord kommer til tro på mig, at de alle må være ét, ligesom du, Fader! i mig, og jeg i dig, at også de må være ét i os, så verden må tro, at du har sendt mig. Og den herlighed, du har givet mig, den har jeg givet dem, for at de skal være ét, ligesom vi er ét, jeg i dem og du i mig, for at de må være fuldkommen ét, så verden kan forstå, at du har sendt mig og har elsket dem, ligesom du har elsket mig.« Kristus bragte menneskelig natur i en personlig forbindelse med hans egen guddommelighed. Således har han givet et midtpunkt for universets tro at fæstne sig på.
