Rejoicing In Salvation

Ἀγαλλιασόμεθα ἐν τῷ σωτηρίῳ, κ.τ.ἑ. Οἱ μὲν ἄνθρωποι ἐν πλούτῳ ἀγαλλιῶσιν ἤ ἐν δόξῃ ἤ ἐν εὐγενείᾳ, ὁ δὲ ἅγιος ἐν τῷ σωτηρίῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ. Σωτήριον τοῦ Πατρὸς ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ὁ Υἱός· σωτήριον τοῦ Υἱοῦ ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ὁ σταυρός· σωτήριον περὶ οὗ εἴρηται, ὅτι ἐτέχθη ἡμῖν σήμερον Σωτήρ Κύριος, περὶ οὗ εἶπε Συμεὼν, Ὅτι εἴδον οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου τὸ σωτήριόν σου. Ὠριγένης, Εἰς Ψαλμους, Ψαλμος ΙΘ' Source: Migne PG 12 1248

'We shall rejoice in your salvation... 1  Indeed men rejoice in wealth, or in glory, or in noble lineage, but he who is holy rejoices in the salvation of God. The salvation of the Father in the world is the Son; the salvation of the Son in the world is the cross; concerning which it is said 'born for you today is the Lord your Saviour;' 2 and Simeon says, 'Because my eyes have seen your salvation.' 3 Origen, Excerpta On the Psalms, from Psalm 19 1 Ps 19.6 2 Lk 2.11 3 Lk 2.30
