Simeon's. Song

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 2:31-32

Simeon praised God when he saw Jesus.

He held the tiny baby in his arms and thanked God that he had now seen the Lord's Salvation in person.

Which God prepared and promised long before — a gift for all nations.

Jesus was and is a light of revelation to non-Jews.

And the glory of Israel.

The long-awaited Messiah.

The Prince of Peace, our Savior.
