Jesus assumed humanity that He might meet humanity. He brings men under the transforming power of truth by meeting them where they are. He gains access to the heart by securing sympathy and confidence, making all feel that His identification with their nature and interest is complete. The truth came from His lips beautiful in its simplicity, yet clothed with dignity and power. What a teacher was our Lord Jesus Christ! How tenderly did He treat every honest inquirer after truth, that He might gain admission to his sympathies and find a home in his heart. {TM 190.1}

Jesus påtog sig menneskelighed så han kunne møde menneskelighed. Han bringer mennesker under sandhedens forvandlende kraft ved at møde dem hvor de er. Hans vinding giver adgang til hjertet ved at sikre sig sympati og fortrolighed, og får alle til at føle at hans genkendelse med deres natur og interesse er hel. Sandheden kom smukt fra hans læber i sin jævnhed, og dog klædt i værdighed og kraft. Hvilken lærer var vor Herre Jesus Kristus! Hvor nænsomt han behandlede enhver alvorlig spørger efter sandhed, så han kunne opnå adgang til hans forståelse og finde et hjem i hans hjerte.
