In this one triumphant scene of His earthly life, the Saviour might have appeared escorted by heavenly angels, and heralded by the trump of God; but such a demonstration would have been contrary to the purpose of His mission, contrary to the law which had governed His life. He remained true to the humble lot He had accepted. The burden of humanity He must bear until His life was given for the life of the world.

Ved denne eneste triumf under Frelserens jordeliv kunne han have vist sig omgivet af himmelske engle, og hans komme kunne have været forkyndt af Guds basun. Men en sådan tilkendegivelse ville have været i modstrid med hans kalds formål og i modstrid med den lov, som beherskede hans liv. Han forblev tro mod den ydmyge lod, som han havde valgt. Han måtte bære menneskeslægtens byrde, indtil hans liv var givet for verdens liv.
