Many of the words and acts of Jesus appear mysterious to finite minds, but every word and act had its definite purpose in the work for our redemption; each was calculated to produce its own result. If we 394 were capable of understanding His purposes, all would appear important, complete, and in harmony with His mission.

Mange af Jesu ord og gerninger forekommer uforståelige for den begrænsede tanke, men hvert eneste ord og hver handling havde sit bestemte formål i arbejdet for vor frelse. Hver ting var beregnet til at frembringe sit særlige resultat. Hvis vi var i stand til at forstå hans hensigter, ville alt vise sig at være betydningsfuldt, fuldkomment og overensstemmende med hans opgave.
