Jesus was meek and lowly in heart, and his life was free from all pride and ostentation. While he encircled the world with his human arm, he laid hold of the throne of God with his divine arm, bringing to humanity the power of God. Although he was the Creator of all worlds, he yet testified of himself while on earth that "the foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head." "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."

Jesus var sagtmodig og ydmyg i hjertet, og hans liv var blottet for stolthed og hovmod. Medens han omkransede verden med sin menneskelige arm, havde han fat i Guds trone med sin guddommelige arm, Guds kraft til menneskeheden. Skønt han var universets skaber, sagde han om sig selv, da han vandrede på jorden: "Ræve har huler og himmelens fugle har reder; men Menneskesønnen har ikke det sted, hvor han kan lægge sit hoved til hvile". ”Ringeagtet, skyet af folk, en smerternes mand og kendt med sygdom, en, man skjuler sit ansigt for, agtet ringe, vi regned ham ikke. Og dog vore sygdomme bar han, tog vore smerter på sig; vi regnede ham for plaget, slagen, gjort elendig af Gud. Men han blev såret for vore overtrædelser, knust for vor brødres skyld; os til fred kom straf over ham, vi fik lægedom ved hans sår.”
