Thank God for the bright pictures which He has presented to us. Let us group together the blessed assurances of His love, that we may look upon them continually:
The Son of God leaving His Father’s throne,
clothing His divinity with humanity,
that He might rescue man from the power of Satan;
His triumph in our behalf,
opening heaven to men,
revealing to human vision the presence chamber where the Deity unveils His glory;
the fallen race uplifted from the pit of ruin into which sin had plunged it,
and brought again into connection with the infinite God,
and having endured the divine test through faith in our Redeemer,
clothed in the righteousness of Christ,
and exalted to His throne
—these are the pictures which God would have us contemplate. SC 118
