(Song of Solomon 5:10, 16; Hebrews 12:2.) Approaching the Perfect Pattern—As one becomes acquainted with the history of the Redeemer, he discovers in himself serious defects; his unlikeness to Christ is so great that he sees the necessity for radical changes in his life. Still he studies with a desire to become like his great Exemplar. He catches the looks, the spirit, of his beloved Master. By beholding, by “looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith,” he becomes changed into the same image.{6BC 1098.6}

(Højs. 5,10. 16; Hebr. 12,2.) Nærme sig det fuldkomne mønster. - Idet nogen bliver bekendt med Genløserens historie, opdager han sine alvorlige mangler hos sig, hans ulighed med Kristus er så stor at han ser en radikal forandring i hans liv som en nødvendighed. Han bestræber sig stadig med et ønske om at blive lig hans store Eksempel. Han opfanger sin elskede Mesters blik og ånd. Ved beskuelse, ved ”at se på Jesus vor tros ophavsmand og fuldender,” bliver han ændret i det samme billede.
