But there is more than a simple ‘presentation’ going on. It is actually quite a big moment that says a lot about who Jesus is and what he will bring to the world.The old man Simeon’s words are key. We know these words in song – ‘The Song of Simeon’ which has been sung by millions in liturgy and prayer for millennia.Simeon takes this baby in his arms and speaks with prophetic voice and a deep peace.29 ‘… Lord, as you have promised, you may now dismiss your servant in peace. 30 For my eyes have seen your salvation, 31 which you have prepared in the sight of all nations: 32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.’ (Luke 2: 29-32)Praying that Simeon’s song is your song today – a song of deep peace in this boy for your living, your struggle, your challenges, and even your dying.Take the baby today!Pastor Adrian
