He Restrained Truth—The great Teacher held in His hand the entire map of truth, but He did not disclose it all to His disciples. He opened to them those subjects only which were essential to their advancement in the path of heaven. There were many things in regard to which His wisdom kept Him silent. {Ev 57.4} As Christ withheld many things from His disciples, knowing that then it would be impossible for them to comprehend, so today He withholds many things from us, knowing the limited capacity of our understanding.—Manuscript 118, 1902. {Ev 57.5}

Han beherskede sandheden. - Den store Lærer havde hele sandhedens landkort i sin hånd, men han opåbnede ikke det hele for sine disciple. Han åbnede kun de emner op for dem som var nødvendige for deres vej på himlens sti. Der var mange ting om hans visdom som han fortiede. Ligesom Kristus tilbageholdte mange ting for sine disciple, vidende at det var umuligt for dem at fatte det, på samme måde tilbageholder Han mange ting fra os, i kendskabet til vor forstands begrænsede kapacitet. - manuskript 118, 1902.
