Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
It had been revealed to Simeon by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. “Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word.” What happened to Simeon needs to happen to everyone spiritually. Oh, let us seek and find the fullness of Christ in this life before passing on into eternity. And let us have a part in going into all the world and preaching the gospel to every creature that others may do the same.
