Satan was exulting that he had succeeded in debasing the image of God in humanity. Then Jesus came to restore in man the image of his 38 Maker. None but Christ can fashion anew the character that has been ruined by sin. He came to expel the demons that had controlled the will. He came to lift us up from the dust, to reshape the marred character after the pattern of His divine character, and to make it beautiful with His own glory.

Satan jublede over, at det var lykkedes ham at fordærve Guds billede i menneskene. Da kom Jesus for atter at genoprette Skaberens billede i mennesket. Ingen andre end Kristus kan på ny danne den karakter, der var ødelagt af synden. Han kom for at uddrive de onde ånder, der havde fået herredømmet over viljen. Han kom for at rejse os af støvet, for at omdanne den fordærvede karakter til at ligne hans egen guddommelige karakter og smykke den med sin egen herlighed.
