"Now Lord, You are releasing Your bond-servant to depart in peace, According to Your word; For my eyes have seen Your salvation, Which You have prepared in the presence of all peoples, A LIGHT OF REVELATION TO THE GENTILES, And the glory of Your people Israel." - Luke 2:29-32 NASB
The account of Simeon is amazing. The Lord had revealed to Simeon that he would not die until he had seen the Messiah. When he held the baby Jesus in his arms he knew that he could depart in peace. All of his hopes, and all of the hopes of the world were met and fulfilled in this promised Child whom we celebrate each December. How much more blessed are we when we consider the Salvation that the Lord has provided, rather than listening to the ruckus that the world continually provides.
Yes, to ponder our salvation. So good. Love you, Brad!
