Christ could have imparted to men knowledge that would have surpassed any previous disclosures and put in the background every other discovery. He could have unlocked mystery after mystery, and could have concentrated around these wonderful revelations the active, earnest thought of successive generations till the close of time. But He would not spare a moment from teaching the knowledge of the science of salvation. His time, His faculties, His life itself, was appreciated and used only as the means for working out the salvation of the souls of men. He had come to seek and to save that which was lost, and He would not be turned from His one object. He allowed nothing to divert Him. {8T 309.5}

Kristus kunne have tildelt mennesker kundskab, som ville have overgået alle tidligere åbenbarelser og lagt enhver anden opdagelse i baggrunden. Han kunne have opklaret mysterium efter mysterium og kunne samle de aktive, alvorligst tænkende slægter, omkring disse forunderlige åbenbarelser, helt til tidens ende. Man han ville ikke unde et øjeblik på at lære videnskabsfrelse. (310) Hans tid, hans evner, hans liv i sig selv, blev påskønnet og kun brugt til at arbejde for menneskesjæles frelse. Han er kommet for at opsøge og frelse det fortabte og han ville ikke blive vendt fra dette mål. Han lod sit ikke adsplitte af noget.
