Jesus was the Majesty of heaven, the king of glory; and yet in his human life he was patient, kind, courteous, benevolent, full of love for little children, and full of pity and compassion for the tempted, the tried, and the oppressed. Of himself he said, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord."

Jesus var Himmelens majestæt, herlighedens Konge, men alligevel var han tålmodig, venlig, høflig, godgørende, fyldt med kærlighed til små børn og medlidende og kærlig mod dem, der var stedt i fristelser, prøvelser og vanskeligheder. Han sagde om sig selv: "Herrens ånd er over mig, fordi han salvede mig, at jeg skal gå med glædesbud til fattige. Han sendte mig for at udråbe for fanger, at de skal få frihed, og for blinde, at de skal få deres syn, for at sætte fortrykte i frihed." Luk 4,18-19."
