“Divinity was revealed in humanity; the invisible glory in the visible human form.”
Ellen G. White book Christ's Object Lessons
Ch. 1 http://www.egwtext.whiteestate.org/col/col1.html, p. 17 <br class="br">Christ's Object Lessons (1900) <br class="br">Context: In Christ's parable teaching the same principle is seen as in His own mission to the world. That we might become acquainted with His divine character and life, Christ took our nature and dwelt among us. Divinity was revealed in humanity; the invisible glory in the visible human form. Men could learn of the unknown through the known; heavenly things were revealed through the earthly; God was made manifest in the likeness of men. So it was in Christ's teaching: the unknown was illustrated by the known; divine truths by earthly things with which the people were most familiar.

Context: War forgets peace. Peace forgives war. War is the death of the life human. Peace is the birth of the Life Divine. Our vital passions want war. Our psychic emotions desire peace.
