“认识祢独一的真神，并且认识祢所差来的耶稣基督，这就是永生”(约17:3)。{FH.125.1}
基督若是认为有必要，原可向门徒展开种种奥秘，使人心的一切发明都黯然失色，望尘莫及。祂原可提出有关每一学科的真相，虽超越人的理智，却毫不误表真理。祂原可揭示未知的事，引人殚精竭虑、思考研究、累代不休、直至尘世终局。祂原可打开人心曾徒然试图打开的一扇扇通入奥秘之门。祂原可给人知识树，供人历代摘取。但这种工作对他们的灵魂得救来说并不是必要的。对上帝品格的认识才是他们永恒的利益所不可缺少的。……{FH.125.2}
生命和荣耀之主耶稣降临，是要为人类的家庭栽种生命树，邀请堕落的人类来享用它并得到满足。祂来向他们显明他们今生和来生唯一的指望、唯一的幸福是什么。……祂不愿让任何事转移祂对自己要来完成之工作的关注。……{FH.125.3}
耶稣看到人们需要让自己的心受上帝吸引，以便熟悉祂的品格，获得基督在祂圣洁的律法中表明的义。祂知道，人人都必须如实地代表上帝的品格，好使他们不受撒但的误表所欺骗，撒但已将他地狱的阴影横阻在他们的道路上，使他们认为上帝有撒但般邪恶的特性。……{FH.125.4}
世上的教师无论被当时的人或现时代的人认为多么伟大明智，比起耶稣，就都不值得景仰了;因为他们所说的真理都不过是祂所发明的。凡来自其它源头的都是愚昧。就连他们说过的真理，在祂口中也美化荣耀了;因为祂是本简朴秉尊严说的。——《时兆》，1893年5月1日。{FH.125.5}
How Jesus Taught Truth, April 23
And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.?John 17:3.?{FH 125.1}[1]
If Christ had thought it necessary, He could have opened to His disciples mysteries which would have eclipsed and put far out of sight all the discoveries of the human mind. He could have presented facts concerning every subject that would have gone beyond human reasonings, and yet not misrepresented the truth in any particular. He could have revealed that which was unknown, that which would have put imagination to the stretch and attracted the thoughts of successive generations to the close of earth’s history. He could have opened doors into the mysteries that the human mind had sought in vain to open. He could have presented to men and women a tree of knowledge from which they might have plucked from age to age; but this work was not essential to their soul’s salvation, and the knowledge of the character of God was necessary to their eternal interests....?{FH 125.2}[2]
Jesus, the Lord of life and glory, came to plant the tree of life for the human family and to invite the members of a fallen race to eat and be satisfied. He came to reveal to them what was their only hope, their only happiness, both in this world and in that which is to come.... He would allow nothing to divert His attention from the work which He came to do....?{FH 125.3}[3]
Jesus saw that people needed to have their minds attracted to God, that they might become acquainted with His character and obtain the righteousness of Christ represented in His holy law. He knew that it was necessary that all should have a faithful representation of the divine character, that they might not be deceived by the misrepresentations of Satan, who had cast his hellish shadow athwart their pathway, and to their minds clothed God with his own satanic characteristics....?{FH 125.4}[4]
However great and wise the teachers of the world might have been regarded in His day or may be regarded in our day, yet in comparison to Him they are not to be admired; for all the truth they uttered was but that which He originated, and all that came from any other source was foolishness. Even the truth they uttered, in His mouth was beautified and made glorious; for He presented it in simplicity and dignity.—Signs of the Times, May 1, 1893.?{FH 125.5}[5]
