A light for Revelation
In the gospel of Luke we read,
"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's 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 the sight of all people, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel."Luke 2:25-32.
Here is the account of when Jesus as a baby was taken by his parents to the temple to be dedicated.
The account tells of a righteous and devout man named Simeon who had been told that he would not die until he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
Upon seeing Jesus he proclaims that Jesus is the Lords Christ. That Jesus’ purpose in life would be to be a light to show God to the gentiles and to glorify Gods people Israel.
If this is not true then Simeon had spoken a lie that has fooled millions of people throughout the centuries and in deed billions of people living today.
If it is true and I believe it to be so. Then you have two choices.
One, the choice Paul gave his Jailor,
“..."Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household." Acts 16:31.
Or you can reject what is said.
The choice is yours.
Please think about it.
