Jesus does not excuse their sins, but shows their penitence and faith, and, claiming for them forgiveness, He lifts His wounded hands before the Father and the holy angels, saying, “I know them by name.” ... Their names stand enrolled in the book of life, and concerning them it is written, “They shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.” Revelation 3:4. {FLB 212.6}

Jesus undskylder ikke deres synder, men viser deres anger og tro, og, idet han kræver dem tilgivet, løfter han Sine sårede hænder for Faderen og de hellige engle, og siger: ”Jeg kender dem ved navn.” . . . Deres navne står indskrevet i livets bog, og om dem står der skrevet: ”De skal vandre med mig i hvide klæder, for det er de værdige til.” Åb. 3,4
