The words of Christ placed the teachings of nature in a new aspect and made them a new revelation. He could speak of the things which His own hands had made, for they had qualities and properties that were peculiarly His own. In nature, as in the sacred pages of the Old Testament Scriptures, divine, momentous truths are revealed; and in His teaching, Jesus laid these open before the people, bound up with the beauty of natural things.... {CT 178.4}

Kristi ord satte naturens lære i et nyt aspekt og gør dem til en ny åbenbaring. Han kunne (179) sige ting som Hans egne hænder har gjort, for de havde kvaliteter og besiddelser som var helt Hans egne. I naturen, såvel som i det Gamle Tesamentes hellige sider, blev guddommelige og betydningsfulde sandheder åbenbaret, og i Sin lære, lagde Jesus dette åbent frem for folket, bundet op med naturlige tings skønhed. . . . .
