Christ came to teach human beings what God desires them to know. In the heavens above, in the earth, in the broad waters of the ocean, we see the handiwork of God. All created things testify to His power, His wisdom, His love. But not from the stars or the ocean or the cataract can we learn of the personality of God as it is revealed in Christ. {8T 265.4}

Kristus kom for at lære menneskene, hvad Gud ønsker, de skal vide. I himlen over os, på jorden og i oceanets vidtstrakte vande ser vi Guds hænders værk. Alt det skabte vidner om hans magt, hans visdom og kærlighed. Men hverken af stjernerne eller oceanet eller vandfaldet kan vi lære Guds personlighed at kende, således som den er åbenbaret i Kristus.
