Simeon's Song: Is He the One?

So—when Simeon took Jesus in his arms, he said, “Lord, I’m ready to go home now. I can die in peace.” But no one is ready to die until they have seen Jesus with the eyes of faith. Once you have seen him, death is no longer an enemy. It’s true you may live your life & come to the end not having been as successful as you like. You may live in some frustration because you haven’t accomplished all your goals. But—and this is a very big but—if you can come to the end of your life & say, “I have seen the Lord’s Christ,” then you’ve had a good life. At the end all that matters is to know Jesus.
