In giving us His word, God has put us in possession of every truth essential for our salvation. Thousands have drawn water from these wells of life, yet there is no diminishing of the supply. Thousands have set the Lord before them, and by beholding have been changed into the 134 same image. Their spirit burns within them as they speak of His character, telling what Christ is to them, and what they are to Christ. But these searchers have not exhausted these grand and holy themes. Thousands more may engage in the work of searching out the mysteries of salvation. As the life of Christ and the character of His mission are dwelt upon, rays of light will shine forth more distinctly at every attempt to discover truth. Each fresh search will reveal something more deeply interesting than has yet been unfolded. The subject is inexhaustible. The study of the incarnation of Christ, His atoning sacrifice and mediatorial work, will employ the mind of the diligent student as long as time shall last; and looking to heaven with its unnumbered years he will exclaim, "Great is the mystery of godliness."

Idet Gud har givet os sit ord, har han ladet os komme i besiddelse af enhver sandhed, der har betydning for vor frelse. Tusinder har draget vand fra disse livets kilder og alligevel er de ikke blevet udtømt. Tusinder har haft Herren for øje og er blevet forvandlet til det samme billede ved at beskue ham. Deres hjerter brænder i dem, når de taler om hans karakter og fortæller om, hvad Kristus betyder for dem, og hvad de betyder for Kristus. Men disse sandhedssøgende har ikke udtømt disse dybe og hellige emner Tusinder kan endnu fordybe sig i granskningen af frelsens gåde. Når de studerer Kristi liv og hvad hans gerning på jorden har betydet, vil lysstråler vælde frem endnu klarere ved hvert forsøg på at finde sandhed. Hver ny søgen vil åbenbare noget, der er endnu mere interessant end det, som allerede er kendt. Emnet er uudtømmeligt. Kristi menneskevorden, hans forsoningsdød og midlergerning vil optage den flittigt søgendes tanker så længe jorden står og idet han ser fremad mod evigheden, vil han udbryde: "Uimodsigeligt er denne gudsfrygtens hemmelighed stor"
