Thus was made known to Jacob that which met the need and longing of his soul—a Saviour. With joy and gratitude he saw revealed a way by which he, a sinner, could be restored to communion with God. The mystic ladder of his dream represented Jesus, the only medium of communication between God and man.—Steps to Christ, 19, 20 (1892). {2MCP 455.2}

Således kundgjordes for Jakob det, hans sjæl higede efter budskabet om en frelser. Med glæde og taknemmelighed så han en vej, hvorpå han, synderen, atter kunne komme i samfund med Gud. Den hemmelighedsfulde stige fremstillede Jesus, den eneste mellemmand mellem Gud og mennesker.—Vejen til Kristus, 23 (1892).
