“祭物和礼物是祢不愿意的；祢曾给我预备了身体。……我来了，为要照祢的旨意行”（来10:5-7）。{FH.80.1}
假如天使加百列被派遣到世上来，取了人的本性，教导人认识上帝，人们会是怎样热切地倾听他的教训呢？假如他能够给我们留下一个纯净圣洁的榜样，对我们的一切忧伤、丧亲之痛和苦难深表同情，为我们的罪孽受苦，承受刑罚，我们会怎样热烈地要跟随他呢？……{FH.79.2}
假如这位天使回天家的时候，留下了一本记载他使命的史书，书上还记载着关于世界历史的启示，我们会是多么渴望打开这卷书的封印啊！男男女女都急于想人手一册。……但是，有一位远超过人的思维所能及的，从天降到世界上来。……基督论到祂自己说：“还没有亚伯拉罕就有了我。”“我与父原为一”（约8:58; 10:30）。……{FH.80.3}
保罗看见基督的大能，就钦佩而惊讶地呼喊道：“大哉！敬虔的奥秘，无人不以为然。就是上帝在肉身显现，被圣灵称义、被天使看见、被传于外邦、被世人信服、被接在荣耀里。”……“祂在万有之先，万有也靠祂而立”（提前3:16; 西1:17）。{FH.80.4}
圣经是上帝向我们说话的声音，正如我们能亲耳听到它一样确切。我们如果认识到这一点，就会……以何等诚恳的心去查考它的训词啊！研读并默想圣经就会被视同觐见那无穷的上帝。……{FH.80.5}
基督的话是生命的粮。门徒以基督的话为粮，悟性就大为增强。……他们对这些教训的理解，好像从黎明的朦胧，步入正午的光辉一样。{FH.80.6}
我们研读上帝圣言时，也一定会这样。我们的心智会得到加强，悟性会得到提高。凡接受和领会衪的话语，使之成为每一行动和每一品性之一部分的人，必靠着上帝的大能强壮起来。这道赋予心灵以活力，完善我们的经验，并带来持久的喜乐。——《时兆》，1906年4月4日。{FH.80.7}
The Word Became Flesh, March 9
Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You have prepared for Me.... Behold, I have come ... to do Your will, O God.?Hebrews 10:5-7.?{FH 80.1}[1]
Should the angel Gabriel be sent to this world to take upon himself human nature and to teach the knowledge of God, how eagerly people would listen to his instruction. Supposing that he were able to set us a perfect example of purity and holiness, sympathizing with us in all our sorrows, bereavements, and afflictions, and suffering the punishment of our sins, how eagerly we would follow him....?{FH 80.2}[2]
If, when this heavenly being returned to his home, he should leave behind him a book containing the history of his mission, with revelations regarding the history of the world, how eagerly would its seal be broken! How anxiously men and women would seek to obtain a copy! ... But One surpassing all that imagination can present came from heaven to this world.... Of Himself Christ declares, “Before Abraham was, I am.” “I and my Father are one.” ...?{FH 80.3}[3]
As Paul beheld Christ in His power, he broke out into exclamations of admiration and amazement: “Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” ... “And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”?{FH 80.4}[4]
The Bible is God’s voice speaking to us, just as surely as if we could hear it with our ears. If we realized this, ... with what earnestness we would search its precepts. The reading and contemplation of the Scriptures would be regarded as an audience with the Infinite One....?{FH 80.5}[5]
Christ’s words are the bread of life. As the disciples ate the words of Christ, their understanding was quickened.... In their comprehension of these teachings they stepped from the obscurity of dawn to the radiance of noonday.?{FH 80.6}[6]
So will it be with us as we study God’s Word. Our minds will be quickened and our understanding enlarged. Those who receive and assimilate this Word, making it a part of every act, of every attribute of character, grow strong in the strength of God. It gives vigor to the soul, perfecting the experience, and bringing joys that abide forever.—Signs of the Times, April 4, 1906.?{FH 80.7}[7]
