“For mine eyes have seen thy
salvation.” Lk 2:30
The greatest gift man will ever
come to obtain is when he realizes the great love Christ has for him! Simeon and Anna, both of these godly saints
recognized such a gift when they encountered Jesus in the temple and was able
to identify Him as the Messiah. We don't
know how surprised he was to discover the Savior as a baby in Mary's arms, but
we do know that he recognized Jesus and gave God praise for his faithfulness (vs28). When Simeon saw the baby, he considered his
life complete (vs 30). Such fullness and completeness of life can
only come with the understanding of Christ eternal love for you. Nothing else will ever be obtained or
accomplished that will measure in worth. By exercising their faithful
anticipation of God’s promise, they didn’t miss the opportunity to acknowledge
Christ love for them. Don’t become spiritually
blinded in recognizing the same promise, if so life will never find its
fullness and worth elsewhere.
Unfortunately what we are prone
to see depends mainly on what we are looking for!
