The Gospel of Luke "does not simply say, 'Christ is born, but to you he is born.' Neither does Jesus say, 'I bring glad tidings, but to you I bring glad tidings of great joy.' Furthermore, this joy was not to remain in Christ, but it shall be to all the people....Christ must above all things become our own and we become his."
Martin Luther (1483-1546) Sermon on Luke 2:1-14 Christmas Day 1521
