Sermon
Text: Luke 2:25-2:32
- 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.
26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before
he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. 27 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, 28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God,
saying:
29
“Sovereign Lord, as you have promised,
you may now dismiss[a] your servant in
peace.
30
For my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 which you have prepared in the sight of
all nations:
32 a
light for revelation to the Gentiles,
and the glory of your people Israel.”
