“Men know it not, but the tidings fill heaven with rejoicing. With a deeper and more tender interest the
holy beings from the world of light are drawn to the earth. The whole world is brighter for His presence.
Above the hills of Bethlehem are gathered an innumerable throng of angels. They wait the signal to
declare the glad news to the world. Had the leaders in Israel been true to their trust, they might have
shared the joy of heralding the birth of Jesus. But now they are passed by.
“God declares, ‘I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground.’ ‘Unto the
upright there ariseth light in the darkness.’ Isaiah 44:3; Psalm 112:4. To those who are seeking for
light, and who accept it with gladness, the bright rays from the throne of God will shine.” Desire of Ages,
47.
“While they trust to the guidance of human authority, none will come to a saving knowledge of the
truth. Like Nathanael, we need to study God’s word for ourselves, and pray for the enlightenment of the
Holy Spirit. He who saw Nathanael under the fig tree will see us in the secret place of prayer. Angels
from the world of light are near to those who in humility seek for divine guidance.
“With the calling of John and Andrew and Simon, of Philip and Nathanael, began the foundation of the
Christian church. John directed two of his disciples to Christ. Then one of these, Andrew, found his
brother, and called him to the Saviour. Philip was then called, and he went in search of Nathanael.”
Desire of Ages, 141.

“All the tendencies to sin that are in me were in Him, and not one of them was ever allowed to appear in
Him. All the tendencies to sin that are in you were in Him, and not one of them was ever allowed to
appear—every one was put under foot and kept there. All the tendencies to sin that are in the other man
were in Him, and not one of them was ever allowed to appear. That is simply saying that all the
tendencies to sin that are in human flesh were in His human flesh, and not one of them was ever allowed
to appear; He conquered them all. And in Him we all have victory over them all.” A. T. Jones, General
Conference Daily Bulletin, February 21, 1895 267.
