All the prophecies concerning His work and mediation were familiar to Him, especially those having reference to His humiliation, atonement, and intercession. The object of His life on earth was ever before Him, and He rejoiced to think that the gracious purpose of the Lord should prosper in His hands. {CT 260.2}

Han var fortrolig med alle forudsigelser om Sit arbejde og formidling, især dem der førte hen på Hans ydmygelse, forsoning og mellemkomst. Formålet med Hans liv på jorden stod altid foran Ham, og Han glædede sig over at tænke på at Herrens nådige målsætning ville lykkes i Hans hænder.
