Christ might commission the angels of heaven to pour out the vials of His wrath on our world, to destroy those who are filled with hatred of God. He might wipe this dark spot from His universe. But He does not do this. He is today standing at the altar of incense, presenting before God the prayers of those who desire His help.

Kristus kunne give Himmelens engle befaling til at udøse hans vredes skåler over vor verden og til at tilintetgøre dem, der er opfyldt af had mod Gud. Han kunne udslette denne mørke plet af sit univers. Men han gør ikke dette. Han står i dag ved røgelsealteret som talsmand hos Gud for dem, der beder om hans hjælp.
