The First Advent of Christ The Son of God was next in authority to the great Lawgiver. He knew that his life alone could be sufficient to ransom fallen man. He was of as much more value than man as his noble, spotless character, and exalted office as commander of all the heavenly host, were above the work of man. He was in the express image of his Father, not in features alone, but in perfection of character.

Guds Søn stod næst efter Den store Lovgiver i autoritet. Han var klar over at det kun var hans liv, som kunne tjene som soning for det faldne menneske. Ligesom hans ædle, pletfrie karakter og fornemme stilling som den himmelske hærs fyrste, var hævet over alt menneskeværk, således var Jesus selv hævet over mennesket. Han var Faderens udtrykte billede, ikke kun i det ydre, men også i sin fuldkomne karakter.
