“And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.”
Luke 2:26 KJV
Simeon was in the temple at Jerusalem when Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to there according to the Jewish law. It was no coincidence that Simeon was there because he was drawn by the Holy Spirit to see the Messiah before he died. Simeon prophesied over the Messiah what had been prophesied much earlier by previous prophets, of the salvation which God had prepared for all people. Jesus is the Saviour of all people, not one is left out! Simeon thanked God for the privilege of seeing and holding the Messiah Who through His death, burial and resurrection was going to change the course of this world. May each one of us be drawn by the Holy Spirit to see the need for the Saviour in our lives and be filled with thanksgiving for what great things Christ has done. Let no one depart unless they have seen God’s salvation in Christ Jesus. Amen!
