Whether rich or poor, we must never forget that the poverty of Christ was a part of His legacy in humanity. It was not alone His betrayal in the garden or His agony upon the cross that constituted the atonement. The humiliation of which His poverty formed a part was included in His great sacrifice. The whole series of sorrows which compassed humanity Christ bore upon His divine soul (Manuscript 12, 1900).{6BC 1103.6}

Uanset om vi er rige eller fattige, må vi aldrig glemme at Kristi armod var en del af Hans arv i menneskene. Det var ikke kun Hans forrådelse i haven eller Hans pinsler på korset der udgør forsoningen. Den ydmyghed som Hans armod udformede en andel, blev inkluderet i Hans store offer. Hele rækken af de sorger, som omfattede menneskene, bar Kristus på Sin guddommelige sjæl (MS 12, 1900).
