Christ’s life represents a perfect manhood. Just that which you may be, He was in human nature. He took our infirmities. He was not only made flesh, but He was made in the likeness of sinful flesh. His divine attributes were withheld from relieving His soul anguish or His bodily pains (Letter 106, 1896).{5BC 1124.2}

Kristi liv repræsenterer en fuldkommen manddom. Præcis det som du kunne være, var Han i menneskenaturen. Han tog vore svagheder. Han blev ikke kun gjort til kød, men Han var gjort i syndigt køds lignelse. Hans guddommelige egenskaber var holdt tilbage fra at lindre Sin sjælspine eller Sin legemlige smerte. (Brev 106, 1896).
