Thus Christ, in His own spotless righteousness, after shedding His precious blood, enters into the holy place to cleanse the sanctuary. And there the crimson current is brought into the service of reconciling God to man. Some may look upon this slaying of the heifer as a meaningless ceremony, but it was done by the command of God and bears a deep significance that has not lost its application to the present time.... {FLB 200.4}

Således kommer Kristus, i sin egen pletfrie retfærdighed, ind i det hellige, efter at have udgydt sit eget dyrebare blod, for at rense helligdommen. Og der kommer den skarlanrøde strøm i tjeneste for at forsone mennesket med Gud. Nogle kan betragte denne slagtning af kalven som en meningsløs ceremoni, men den blev udført på Guds befaling, og frembærer en stor vigtighed som ikke har mistet sin betydning for nutiden. . . . . .
