Simeon said it.
In Luke’s gospel 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.
This is who Jesus is. As Simeon put it,
“...a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.”
Jesus himself said,
“Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6
The apostle Peter when standing before the religious leaders, who could have punished them for what they believed and said. Boldly spoke of Jesus this way,
"He is " ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone.'
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:11,12.
Jesus is the Son of God. Saviour of each individual who would put their trust in Him.
Would you take time to at least read the New Testament and see what the early church believed about Him?
Would you accept Jesus into your life this day?
Please think about it.
