Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Messiah. Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying:
"Sovereign Lord, as you have promised,
you may now dismiss your servant in peace.
For my eyes have seen your salvation,
which you have prepared in the sight of all nations:
a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
and the glory of your people Israel."
~Luke 2:25-32~

ReplyDeleteMy great, great grandfather - who was wounded during the Civil War and suffered terribly as a result until he died in 1913 - had the middle name of Simeon. I've so often thought about the fact that I would love to know why his parents named him Elijah Simeon. Were they true believers? I don't know, but I certainly hope to see them all in heaven one day!
ReplyDeleteHow awesome for Simeon to be so blessed to see and know who baby Jesus was right away. Great scripture.
