Many of the words and dealings of Jesus appear mysterious to finite minds; but all his purposes were clear to his divine understanding. His whole plan was mapped before him, perfect in all its details. Every act was calculated to produce its individual results. The history of the world from its creation to the end of time was fully known to Christ. Were the mind of man capable of understanding his dealings, every act of his earthly life would stand forth important, complete, and in harmony with his divine mission. {2SP 285.2}

Jesu ord og adfærd var ofte underlig overfor menneskene; men hensigten dermed var klar for hans guddommelige forstand. Hele frelsens plan lå tydelig udbredt for ham i alle sine enkeltheder. enhver handling var beregnet på at frembringe visse følger: Jesus var fuldkommen bekendt med verdens historie fra skabelsen til den sidste tid. Dersom menneskene var i stand til rettelig at forstå hans adfærd, så ville de se, at enhver handling i hans liv var overordentlig betydningsfuld og i fuldkommen harmoni med hans guddommelige sendelse.
