In order to understand the mission of Jesus, it is necessary that his divine light shall illuminate the mind; for the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him; nor can he know them, for they are spiritually discerned. Jesus is constantly drawing us to behold him as our only hope and refuge. "Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages." "Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted. But Zion said, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me."

For at forstå Jesu mission, er det nødvendigt at hans guddommelige lys skal oplyse sindet; for det naturlige menneske modtager ikke Guds ånds sager, thi det er ham en dårskab, og han kan ikke forstå det, thi det må bedømmes åndeligt. Jesus drager hele tiden på os for at se på ham som vort håb og tilflugt. " Så siger Herren: Jeg hører dig i nådens stund, jeg hjælper dig på Frelsens dag, vogter dig og gør dig til folkepagt for at rejse landet igen, udskifte øde lodder." "Jubler, i himle, fryd dig, du jord, i bjerge, bryd ud i jubel! Thi Herren trøster sit folk, forbarmer sig over sine arme. Dog siger Zion: "Herren har svigtet mig, Herren har glemt mig!" glemmer en kvinde sit diende barn, en moder, hvad hun bar under hjerte? Ja, selv om de kunne glemme, jeg glemmer ej dig. Se, i mine hænder har jeg tegnet dig, dine mure har jeg altid for øje."
