When Christ left His high command, He might have taken upon Him any condition in life that He chose. But greatness and rank were nothing to Him, and He chose the most humble walk of life. No luxury, ease, or self-gratification came into His experience. The truth of heavenly origin was to be His theme; He was to sow the world with truth, and He lived in such a way as to be accessible to all. {CT 259.3}

Da Kristus forlod Sin høje rang, kunne Han have påtaget Sig den tilstand i livet som han vælger. Men storhed og rang var intet for Ham, og Han valgte den mest ydmyge livsvandring. Han fik ikke erfaret nogen luksus, nemhed eller selvtilfredsstillelse. Sandheden af himmelsk oprindelse skulle være Hans tema; Han skulle så verden til med sandhed, og Han levede på en sådan måde at den var tilgængelig for alle.
