Luke 2:30 For my eyes have seen your salvation
Simeon waited his entire life. God, through the Holy Spirit, had revealed to him that he would see the Christ before he died. He was a righteous and devout man and trusted that God would keep his word. Most of the Jews were waiting for the salvation God had promised and Simeon was waiting as well, and this day he looked up and saw salvation had come.
How was it that Simeon saw the Lord's salvation while everyone else, besides Anna, missed it. Maybe it was because he was looking for it, possibly it was because he was devout and righteous. It took both. It will take the same for us. We must keep our lives from sin. We must devote ourselves to God's Word and to living that Word out in our daily lives... every day.
A and K, your salvation is before you. Will you take notice? Christ was only 8 days old when recognized and declared the salvation of mankind, a light unto all. But for you, he has been around over 2000 years, but still many do not recognize him. Yet you know him! Your Redemption draws nigh. He wants to walk with you and have you sense his presence. He will help you to be righteous, living out his Word. What a glory it is to know that Christ, your salvation is here.
