„Schon zweihundert Jahre vor Christi Geburt hatten andere Propheten verkündet, der versprochene Messias werde der Erlöser der ganzen Welt sein. Er werde nicht nur die Israeliten vom fremden Joch befreien, sondern alle Menschen von Sünde und Schuld erlösen — und nicht zuletzt vom Tod.“
So antwortet denn, ihr vorerst — zu den andern reden wir nachher! — ihr, die ihr euch fromme Christen nennt und wahrhafte Israeliter, antwortet denn: Seid und tut und glaubt ihr wirklich wie Christus war und tat und glaubte und wie die Israeliter?
