The greatest gift of Heaven had been given to the world. Joy to the poor, for Christ has come to make them heirs of his kingdom! Joy to the rich, for he will teach them how to apply their earthly treasure that it may secure for them eternal riches in Heaven! Joy to the ignorant, for he has come to give them wisdom unto salvation! Joy to the learned, for he will open to their understanding deeper mysteries than they have ever before fathomed! {2SP 191.2}

Gud havde skænket verden himlens ypperste gave. Han bragte glæde til de fattige; han bragte også glæde til de rige; thi han lærer dem, hvorledes de skal benytte deres jordiske skatte, så at de kan opnå himlens evige rigdom. Han bragte glæde til de uvidende; thi han kom for at give dem visdom til salighed. Han bragte også glæde til de lærde; thi han ville åbne deres forstand for større hemmeligheder, end de tidligere havde fattet.
