Han sier: « Jeg vil forkynne om Deg Gud til Mine søsken. Jeg vil lovprise Deg Gud midt blant menneskene. Jeg vil stole fullt og helt på Gud.» Dessuten sier Han: « Her er Jeg og de barna Gud har gitt Meg.» Siden menneskebarna er av kjøtt og blod, måtte Han selv bli et menneske av kjøtt og blod, slik at Han kunne dø. For det var bare ved å dø for oss at Han kunne ta dødens makt fra djevelen. Slik kunne Jesus befri dem som var bundet av frykt for hva som kunne skje etter døden. Det er ikke engler Jesus er opptatt av å hjelpe, men mennesker.
