I would like us to think about this man Simeon on this Christmas Day. I want us to think about his being the one man who represented all spiritual Israel at Christ's birth. In certain wonderful and lastingly meaningful ways, he represented all faithful believers in Old Testament times who looked forward to the coming of Christ. His conduct and his words on this special day, when Christ was brought into the temple by His parents, teach us much about how to live by faith; we who live in New Testament times. For when Simeon went into the temple that day, He found the Consolation of Israel. In seeing the Baby Jesus he saw the Lord's Christ, and he held Him in his arms. There are 3 truths given to us here which will instruct our faith and give us great hope for the future. 1st of all – That Simeon had been waiting for this Consolation. 2nd – I want you to see that he was led by the Holy Spirit to the place where he would find this Consolation. 3rd – When he took this Consolation up in his arms, he knew that he would have peace in departing. Let's think together and learn together about Simeon's strong faith in the Consolation of Israel.
