Read: Luke 2:22-38

²⁹ “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised,
you may now dismiss 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.”

Simeon’s praise is a beautiful expression of that wonderful feeling that arise from knowing that something of utmost importance has been fulfilled in his lifetime. Simeon saw the Lord’s provision for salvation when he saw Jesus. The coming of Jesus, “the Lord’s Messiah,” was a onetime event. But today you, too, can see and experience—if you have not yet seen and experience— the Lord’s salvation if you put your faith in Jesus.

Believe and you will see!
