While Ellen White wrote extensively about Christ's sacrifice and humiliation when He came to earth, she does not state that He gave up His omnipresence "forever." Her writings explain that He voluntarily laid aside His divine glory and authority to become human, but they do not describe this as a permanent loss of His divine attributes. Instead, they emphasize that His divinity was veiled by His humanity. Here are some relevant points from her writings on what Christ relinquished: * **He Laid Aside Royal Authority:** "Christ laid aside His royal robe, His kingly crown, and His high command, and stepped down, down, down, to the lowest depths of humiliation. Bearing human nature, He met all the temptations of humanity and in our behalf defeated the enemy on every point." (9T 190.1) * **He Emptied Himself of Glory:** "Jesus emptied Himself, and in all that He did, self did not appear. He subordinated all things to the will of His Father." (MB 14.3) * **He Retained His Compassionate Nature:** After His ascension, Christ's nature remained unchanged. "Though now He has ascended to the presence of God, and shares the throne of the universe, Jesus has lost none of His compassionate nature. Today the same tender, sympathizing heart is open to all the woes of humanity." (DA 480.5) The writings focus on Christ taking on human nature to live among us and die for us, rather than a permanent surrender of His divine capabilities.
