A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
This scripture is a continuation of Simeon's earlier words: "For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people..." As he took the Baby Jesus in his arms, Simeon knew that God had kept His promise to him, to Israel and to the world. He saw salvation in a baby - a person. Salvation is a person, not something that you do. Salvation is the person of our Lord Jesus Christ. You either have Him or you don't have Him. You either trust Him, or you don't trust Him. Do you know Jesus as your Salvation? You can know Him before you leave church today if there's any doubt in your mind. Pastor John
