Simeon's Song
Luke 2:29-30
29 “Sovereign Lord, now let your servant die in peace,
as you have promised.
30 I have seen your salvation,
The arrival of Jesus is the fulfillment of a long-awaited promise.
Luke 2:30-32
30 I have seen your salvation,
31 which you have prepared for all people.
32 He is a light to reveal God to the nations,
and he is the glory of your people Israel!”
What does it mean for Jesus to be God’s salvation?
“By wisdom God found a way to justify the unjust justly; in love he gave his Son to bear death’s agony for us; in justice he made the Son, as our substitute, suffer the sentence that our disobedience deserved; with power he unites us to Christ risen, renews our hearts, frees us from sin’s bondage, and moves us to repent and believe; and in faithfulness he keeps us from falling, as he promised to do, till he brings us triumphantly to our final glory.”
-J.I. Packer
Simeon’s patient hope is our example to wait in hopeful patience.
