But turning from all lesser representations, we behold God in Jesus. Looking unto Jesus we see that it is the glory of our God to give. "I do nothing of Myself," said Christ; "the living Father hath sent Me, and I live by the Father." "I seek not Mine own glory," but the glory of Him that sent Me. John 8:28; 6:57; 8:50; 7:18. In these words is set forth the great principle which is the law of life for the universe. All things Christ received from God, but He took to give. So in the heavenly courts, in His ministry for all created beings: through the beloved Son, the Father's life flows out to all; through the Son it returns, in praise and joyous service, a tide of love, to the great Source of all. And thus through Christ the circuit of beneficence is complete, representing the character of the great Giver, the law of life.

Men bortset fra alle mindre betydningsfulde fremstillinger ser vi Gud i Jesus. Når vi betragter Jesus, ser vi, at Gud anser det for sin ære at give. "Jeg gør ikke noget af mig selv," sagde Kristus, "den levende Fader udsendte mig, og jeg lever i kraft af Faderen." Selv søger jeg ikke min egen ære" men hans ære, som udsendte mig. Joh. 8,28; 6,57; 8,50; 7,18. I disse ord forkyndes den store grundregel, som er livets lov for universet. Kristus modtog alt fra Gud, men han modtog for at give. Således er det i de himmelske boliger, i hans tjeneste for alt, hvad der er skabt: ved den elskede Søns hjælp udstrømmer Faderens liv til alle; ved Sønnens medvirken vender det tilbage som lovsang og glad tjeneste, som en flodbølge af kærlighed, til det store ophav. Og således fuldkomnes ved Kristus velsignelsernes kredsløb, så det giver et billede af den store givers natur, selve livets lov.
