There are many who think they can come to Jesus only in the way the child did who was possessed of the demon that threw him down and tore him as he was being led to the Saviour. You are not of the kind that should have any such conflicts and trials. Richard Baxter was distressed because he did not have such agonizing, humiliating views of himself as he thought he ought to have. But this was explained to his satisfaction at last, and peace came to his heart. {2MCP 808.5}

Der er mange som tror at de kun kan komme til Jesus som det lille barn gjorde, som var besat af (809) den dæmon der rev og sled i ham, da han blev ledt til Frelseren. Du er ikke sådan at du skal have den slags konflikter og prøvelser. Richard Baxter blev forpint fordi han ikke har et sådant kvaltfuldt, og ydmygende syn på sig selv som han burde have. Men dette blev forklaret i hans afklaring til sidst, og han fik fred i sit hjerte.
