How feeble the church appeared when Christ spoke these words! There was only a handful of believers, against whom all the power of demons and evil men would be directed; yet the followers of Christ were not to fear. Built upon the Rock of their strength, they could not be overthrown.

Hvor syntes kirken svag, da Kristus sagde disse ord! Der fandtes kun en håndfuld troende, mod hvem alle djævles og onde menneskers magt ville være rettet; men alligevel behøvede Kristi disciple ikke at frygte. Det der er bygget på Klippen kan ikke overvindes.
