This is the mystery into which angels desire to look. They desire to know how Christ could live and work in a fallen world, how He could mingle with sinful humanity. It was a mystery to them that He who hated sin with intense hatred felt the most tender, compassionate sympathy for the beings that committed sin (The Signs of the Times, January 20, 1898).{7BC 904.4}

Det er mysteriet som engle ønsker at se ind i. De ønsker at vide hvordan Kristus kunne leve og arbejde i en falden verden, hvordan Han kunne blande sig med syndige mennesker. Det var et mysterium for dem at Han som hadede synd sammen med intens had nære den ømmeste medfølende sympati for væsener der begik synd. (ST 20. jan, 1898).
