For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people. Luke 2:30-31
Simeon had waited his whole life for this moment. A devout man, the Holy Spirit had told Simeon he would not die until he had seen the Lord’s Christ. On this day, the Holy Spirit had led him to the temple where Mary and Joseph had come to present Jesus to the Lord.
When Simeon saw the baby Jesus, he took him up in his arms and praised God. Simeon rejoiced because he had seen for himself the salvation of the Lord. Not only his Savior, but the Savior of the whole world.
If we follow the Holy Spirit, He will always lead us to Jesus.
