Day 21 of Advent
Revelation of Jesus as Christ the Savior to Simeon and to
all the people
Luke 2:25-32
Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous
and devout. He was waiting for the
consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy
Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord Christ. Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple
courts. When the parents brought in the
child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, Simeon took him
in his arms and praised God saying: ‘Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which
you have prepared in sight of all people, a light for revelation to the
Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.”
