Thus Christ interpreted the message which He Himself had given to the lilies and the grass of the field. He desires us to read it in every lily and every spire of grass. His words are full of assurance, and tend to confirm trust in God. 20 So wide was Christ's view of truth, so extended His teaching, that every phase of nature was employed in illustrating truth. The scenes upon which the eye daily rests were all connected with some spiritual truth, so that nature is clothed with the parables of the Master.

Således tolkede Kristus det budskab, som han selv havde givet til liljerne og græsset på marken. Han ønsker at vi skal læse det i enhver lilje og et hvert græsstrå. Hans ord er fyldt med løfter og tjener til at stadfæste tillid til Gud. Kristi syn på, hvad der er sandt, var så klart, hans undervisning så omfattende, at alt i naturen blev brugt til at illustrere en eller anden sandhed. Det, som øjet daglig ser på, blev sat i forbindelse med en eller anden åndelig sandhed naturen iklædtes Mesterens lignelser.
