The Saviour of the world conquered Satan in the wilderness of temptation. He overcame to show man how he may overcome. He announced in the synagogue of Nazareth: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” {3T 388.2}

Verdens frelser overvandt Satan i fristelsens ørken. Han sejrede for at vise menneskene, hvorledes de kan sejre. I synagogen i Nazarat kundgjorde han: »Herrens ånd er over mig, fordi han salvede mig, at jeg skal gå med glædesbud til fattige. Han sendte mig for at udråbe for fanger, at de skal få frihed og for blinde, at de skal få deres syn, for at sætte fortrykte i frihed og udråbe et nådeår fra Herren."
