The Prince of heaven was among His people. The greatest gift of God had been given to the world. Joy to the poor; for Christ had come to make them heirs of His kingdom. Joy to the rich; for He would teach them how to secure eternal riches. Joy to the ignorant; He would make them wise unto salvation. Joy to the learned; He would open to them deeper mysteries than they had ever fathomed; truths that had been hidden from the foundation of the world would be opened to men by the Saviour's mission.

Himmelens Konge var blandt sit folk. Guds største gave var blevet givet til jorden. Glæde for de fattige, thi Kristus var kommen for at gøre dem til arvinger til sit rige. Glæde for de rige, fordi han ville lære dem, hvordan de skulle skaffe sig evige rigdomme. Glæde for de uvidende; han ville gøre dem vise til salighed. Glæde for de vise; han ville åbenbare dem dybere hemmeligheder, end de nogensinde havde loddet. Sandheder, der havde været skjult fra verdens skabelse, ville blive åbenbaret for mennesker ved Frelserens udsendelse.
