Abraham learned of God the greatest lesson ever given to mortal. His prayer that he might see Christ before he should die was answered. He saw Christ; he saw all that mortal can see, and live. By making an entire surrender, he was able to understand the vision of Christ, which had been given him. He was shown that in giving His only-begotten Son to save sinners from eternal ruin, God was making a greater and more wonderful sacrifice than ever man could make.

Abraham modtog fra Gud den største lære, der nogensinde er blevet en dødelig til del. Hans bøn om, at han måtte komme til at se Kristus før sin død blev hørt. Han så Kristus; han så alt, hvad en dødelig kan tåle at se, og dog leve. Ved helt at overgive sig selv blev han i stand til at fatte det syn af Kristus, der blev givet ham. Han fik at se, at ved at give sin enbårne Søn for at frelse syndere fra evig fortabelse bragte Gud et større og mere vidunderligt offer, end noget menneske nogensinde kunne bringe.
