Combats Satan’s Power Over Mind—He [Christ] saw the power—the deceptive power—of Satan upon human minds, and He engaged [bound Himself by a pledge] to come to this earth. He lays aside the robes of His royalty, He lays off His royal crown, He lays off His high command, He steps down from the throne of His glory as High Commander in all heaven, and clothes His divinity with humanity, that humanity might touch humanity. That is what He came here for. He came right down to our earth to take upon Himself the nature of man, to pass through all the trials, all the afflictions and temptations wherewith man should be beset, and here He wrestled with these temptations, passing over the ground where Adam fell, that He might redeem the disgraceful failure and fall of Adam. {1MCP 184.4}

Bekriger Satans magt over sindet. - Han [Kristus] så Satans [forførende] magt over menneskers sind, og Han engagerede sig [forpligtede sig i et løfte] at komme til jorden. Han lagde Sin kongelige kåbe til side, han tog Sin kongelige krone af, Han aflagde sin høje befalingsret, han steg ned fra Sin Herlighedstrone som høj befalingsmand for hele himlen, og iklædte sig Sin guddommelighed med menneskelighed, at menneskelighed må berøre menneskelighed. Dette er hvad Han kom her for. Han kom helt ned til vor jord for at påtage sig Selv menneskenes natur, og gennemgå alle prøvelser, alle lidelser og fristelser som (185) mennesket er omgivet af, og her brød han med disse fristelser, gik over den grund som Adam faldt på, så Han kan genløse Adams skammelige fejl og fald.
