Well, then, might the angels rejoice as they looked upon the Saviour's cross; for though they did not then understand all, they knew that the destruction of sin and Satan was forever made certain, that the redemption of man was assured, and that the universe was made eternally secure. Christ Himself fully comprehended the results of the sacrifice made upon Calvary. To all these He looked forward when upon the cross He cried out, "It is finished."

Ja, englene havde grund til at fryde sig, når de betragtede Frelserens kors; for skønt de ikke dengang forstod alt, så vidste de, at syndens og Satans tilintetgørelse var sikret for evigt, at der nu var forvisning om menneskeslægtens frelse, og at der for evigt var tryghed i universet. Kristus forstod selv fuldt ud, hvad følgerne ville blive af det offer, der blev bragt på Golgata. Det var til alt dette, han så frem, da han på korset udbrød: "Det er fuldbragt."
