Chapter 16 7-13. Christ Built David’s Character—When God called David from his father’s sheepfold to anoint him king of Israel, He saw in him one to whom He could impart His Spirit. David was susceptible to the influence of the Holy Spirit, and the Lord in His providence trained him for His service, preparing him to carry out His purposes. Christ was the Master-builder of his character (Manuscript 163, 1902).{2BC 1018.3}

Kapitel 16

7-13. Kristus opbygger Davids karakter. - Da Gud kaldte David fra sin Faders fårehjord og salve ham som Israels konge, så Han en mand i ham, som Han kunne tildele Sin Ånd med. David var modtagelig mod Helligåndens indflydelse, og i Sit forsyn oplærte Herren ham til Sin tjeneste, forberedte ham til at gennemføre Hans hensigter. Kristus var hans karakters Mesterbygger (MS 163, 1902).
