(Genesis 5:24; Ephesians 4:13, 15). Too Near the Lowlands of Earth—It is the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, which Jesus said He would send into the world, that changes our character into the image of Christ; and when this is accomplished, we reflect, as in a mirror, the glory of the Lord. That is, the character of the one who thus beholds Christ is so like His, that one looking at him sees Christ’s own character shining out as from a mirror. Imperceptibly to ourselves we are changed day by day from our own ways and will into the ways and will of Christ, into the loveliness of His character. Thus we grow up into Christ, and unconsciously reflect His image.{6BC 1097.5}

(2.Mos 5,24; Ef. 4,13. 15). For nær jordens lavland. - Det er Helligånden, trøstermanden, som Jesus sagde Han ville sende til verden, som ændrer vor karakter til Kristi billede; og når dette er sket, genspejles vi, som i et spejl, herlighedens Herre. Det er karakteren hos ham der beskuer Kristus så lig Hans, at den der ser Kristi egen karakter skinner ud som fra et spejlbillede. Uden at vi selv ved af det ændres vi dag for dag, fra vore egne veje og vilje til Kristi veje og vilje, til Hans karakters elskelighed. Sådan vokser vi op til Kristus, og genspejler ubevidst Hans billede.
