“Light To Gentiles. Glory of Israel”
“Light To Gentiles. Glory of Israel”
Blessings folk!
Now, hear the Word of the Lord through Simeon…
Luk 2:29-32
“Now Lord, You are releasing Your bond-servant to depart in peace,
According to Your word;
For my eyes have seen Your salvation,
Which You have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
A LIGHT OF REVELATION TO THE GENTILES,
And the glory of Your people Israel.”
Remember, the Spirit had promised Simeon that he would not die until he saw the Lord’s Salvation - the Lord’s Messiah.
The first thing Simeon says is that he was a bond-servant of the Lord.
A bond-servant that was now released to depart in peace.
According to the Word of the Lord.
Why?
Because his eyes were looking upon the salvation of the world - in a small child.
Salvation prepared in the presence of all peoples.
Simeon quoted Scripture - “a light of revelation to the gentiles”.
A promise made by God to Abraham.
The child was a light of revelation to the gentiles.
The child was the glory of the Lord’s people Israel.
Simeon had waited.
His patience was fulfilled in a moment.
Why do we grow impatient?
Wait upon the Lord.
Trust in Him.
