Father Suffered With Son—In the scenes that transpired in the judgment hall and at Calvary, we see what the human heart is capable of when under the influence of Satan. Christ submitted to crucifixion, although the heavenly host could have delivered Him. The angels suffered with Christ. God Himself was crucified with Christ; for Christ was one with the Father. Those who reject Christ, those who will not have this man to rule over them, choose to place themselves under the rule of Satan, to do his work as his bondslaves. Yet for them Christ yielded up His life on Calvary (BE August 6, 1894).{5BC 1108.5}

Faderen led sammen med Sønnen. - I de scenerier der udspillede sig i domssalen og på Golgata, ser vi hvad menneskehjertet er i stand til, når det er under Satans indflydelse. Kristus underlagde sig en korsfæstelse, selvom den himmelske hær kunne have udfriet Ham. Englene led sammen med Kristus. Gud selv blev korsfæstet sammen med Kristus, for Kristus var ét med Faderen. Dem som forkaster Kristus, dem som ikke vil have dette menneske til at herske over dem, vælger at sætte sig selv under Satans herredømme, og gøre hans arbejde som hans bundne slaver. Også for dem opgav Kristus Sit liv på Golgata (BE 6. aug., 1894).
