The work of Christ was to take the truth of which the people were in want, and separate it from error, and present it free from the superstitions of the world, that the people might accept it on its own intrinsic and eternal merit. He dispersed the mists of doubt, that the truth might be revealed, and shed distinct rays of light into the darkness of men's hearts. He placed the truth in clear contrast with error, that it might appear as truth before the people. But how few appreciate the value of the work that Christ was doing! How few in our day have a just conception of the preciousness of the lessons which he gave to his disciples.

Det var Kristi opgave at fremkalde den sandhed, som mennesker trængte til og befri den fra vildfarelser og fremstille den renset for verdens overtro, så at folket kunne tage imod den for dens egen indre og evige fortrins skyld. Han spredte tvivlens tåger, for at sandheden kunne åbenbares og sende sine klare stråler ind i menneskehjerterne. Han satte sandheden i klar modsætning til vildfarelse så den viser sig som sandhed for folk. Men hvor få værdsætter værdien af det arbejde Kristus gjorde?! Hvor få i vore dage har et retmæssigt begreb af de dyrebare lektier som han gav til sine disciple.
