Have you seen your salvation?
Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word; for my eyes have seen your salvation…Luke 2:29
Merciful God,
As we revisit this scene between Simeon
and the eight-day-old Jesus,
we pray you would write in us stories like Simeon’s:
May we be…
Filled with the Holy Spirit…
Made righteous by Christ…
Waiting for your consolation…
Watching for our Savior…
Seeing him as our one and only salvation…
Illuminating his glory to all the peoples…
Believing that he alone
makes us ready to die in peace.
Knowing our Savior has come,
may we wait with confident hope
for the day he will come again
and restore us to himself.
Amen.
Read Luke 2:25-32.
