Jesus spake as never man spake. He poured out to men the whole treasure of heaven in wisdom and knowledge. He had not come to utter uncertain sentiments and opinions, but to speak truth established on eternal principles. He could have made disclosures in the sciences that would have placed the discoveries of the greatest men in the background as utter littleness; but this was not His mission or His work. He had come to seek and to save the lost, and He would not permit Himself to be turned from His object. He revealed truths that had been buried under the rubbish of error, and He freed them from the exactions and traditions of men, and bade them stand fast forever. He rescued truth from its obscurity, and set it in its proper framework, that it might shine with its original luster. What wonder that crowds followed in the footsteps of the Lord and gave Him homage as they listened to His words! {CT 29.2}

Jesus talte som intet menneske havde talt. Han udgød hele himmelens rigdomme i visdom og kundskab for mennesker. Han var ikke kommet for at sige usikre sætninger eller meninger, men tale den sandhed der blev oprettet på evige principper. Han kunne have åbenbaret videnskab som ville have sat de største mænds opdagelser i baggrunden, som småting; men det var ikke Hans mission eller Hans arbejde. Han var kommet for at opsøge og frelse de fortabte, og Han ville ikke lade Sig selv vende bort fra dette mål. Han åbenbarede de sandheder som var blevet begravet under vildfarelsens skrammel, og han udfriede dem fra menneskers krav og traditioner, og bad dem stå fast for evigt. Han redede sandheden ud af sit mørke, og satte det i sin rette remme, så den kan skinne med oprindelig glans. Hvilket under at skarer fulgte i Herrens fodspor og gav ham hyldest idet de lyttede til Hans ord!
