Mattheus 3
17 En ziet, een stem uit de hemelen, zeggende: Deze is Mijn Zoon, Mijn Geliefde, in Denwelken Ik Mijn welbehagen heb!
Lukas 2
14 Ere zij God in de hoogste hemelen, en vrede op aarde, in de mensen een welbehagen.
"What a support to our faith is this, that God the Father, the party offended by our sins, is so well pleased with the work of redemption! And what a comfort is this, that seeing God's love rests on Christ, as well pleased in Him, we may gather that He is as well pleased with us, if we be in Christ! For His love rests in whole Christ, in Christ mystical, as well as Christ natural, because He loves Him and us with one love. Let us, therefore, embrace Christ, and in Him God's love, and build our faith safely on such a Saviour that is furnished with so high a commission."
