I love the picture you selected for this passage. It must have been such a tender moment for Simeon. I imagine that his eyes brimmed with tears of joy. Oh there is so much to be learned from Simeon and his example of waiting as we await Jesus’ return.
Beth, very true that Simeon is an example for us to wait for the Lord GOD, JESUS CHRIST (Isaiah 40:31, Psalm 27:14). You are right, just like Simeon who once gratefully hold JESUS in his hands, we too will have tears of joy when He comes again! In a world where gratification is almost instantaneous, such discipline i.e. to wait for GOD’s answer in faith, is needed. A blessed 2021 to you and your family, Beth and advance happy new year!
Grateful to GOD for His direction and illumination. The series will end early January and will be followed by the time series. Blessings to you and your family, Jim!
