20, 21. Two Ways of Working
—[
John 18:20, 21
quoted.] Jesus
would contrast His manner of work with that of His accusers. This
midnight seizure by a mob, this cruel mockery and abuse before
He was even accused or condemned, was their manner, not His.
His work was open to all. He had nothing in His doctrines that
He concealed. Thus He rebuked their position, and unveiled the
hypocrisy of the Sadducees (
Manuscript 51, 1897
).
37. Christ Spoke Truth With the Freshness of a New Reve-
lation
—Truth never languished on His lips, never suffered in His
hands for want of perfect obedience to its requirements. “To this
end was I born,” Christ declared, “and for this cause came I into the
world, that I should bear witness unto the truth.” And the mighty
principles of truth fell from His lips with the freshness of a new
revelation. The truth was spoken by Him with an earnestness pro-
portionate to its infinite importance and to the momentous results
depending on its success (
Manuscript 49, 1898
).
