He spoke of his future sacrifice in these words: “And the bread which I will give you, is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” He offered his salvation to all who would accept him, clothed in humanity, as their Redeemer, having access to the Father, and being invested by him with divine authority. {2SP 279.1}

Jesus taler om sit fremtidige offer med disse ord: "Og det brød, jeg vil give, er mit kød, til liv for verden." (51.vers) Han, der var blevet menneske, tilbød at frelse alle, som ville tage imod ham som sin forløser; thi han hade adgang til Faderen, at hvem han havde fået guddommelig magt.
