Simeon’s unexpected encounter with the infant Jesus reveals God’s fulfilled promise of salvation. His joyful words are both words of praise and words of prophecy about the life of Jesus. We’re going to see themes that touch on waiting on God, the global reach of Christ’s light, and the cost of redemption. This message invites us to recognize Jesus as the Savior, embrace Him with joy, and reflect His light to others. Like Simeon, we too can experience God’s peace through Christ this Christmas.
