Moral Power Through Jesus—1886—Christ knew that man could not overcome without his help. Therefore he consented to lay off his royal robes and clothe his divinity with humanity that we might be rich. He came to this earth, suffered, and knows just how to sympathize with us and to assist us in overcoming. He came to bring man moral power, and he would not have man to understand that he has nothing to do, for every one has a work to do for himself, and through the merits of Jesus we can overcome sin and the devil.—Manuscript 46, 1886.
