It was a difficult task for the Prince of life to carry out the plan which He had undertaken for the salvation of man, in clothing His divinity with humanity. He had received honor in the heavenly courts, and was familiar with absolute power. It was as difficult for Him to keep the level of humanity as for men to rise above the low level of their depraved natures, and be partakers of the divine nature.{7BC 930.1}

(930) Det var en vanskelig opgave for livets Fyrste at gennemføre den plan som Han havde påtaget sig for menneskenes frelse, i sin menneskepåklædning om Sin guddommelighed. Han havde modtaget ære i de himmelske sale, og var fortrolig med absolut magt. Det var ligeså vanskeligt for Ham at holde menneskehedens niveau, som det er for mennesker at rejse sig fra deres lave niveau i deres fornedrede natur, og få del i guddommelig natur.
