"Simeon was there.
He took the child in his arms and praised God, saying,
'Sovereign Lord, now let your servant die in peace,
as you have promised.
I have seen your salvation,
which you have prepared for all people.
He is a light to reveal God to the nations,
and he is the glory of your people Israel!'"
Luke 2:28-32 NLT
Jesus. He came to save. Some expected a glorious king who would rescue them from the oppression of the Romans, but God had something else in mind.
Jesus came to make a way for all peoples to come to God. Jesus came to earth as a man so that God's own people could know their Lord's true nature through faith and be delivered into a radical kind of covenant based on grace.
Jesus. So much more than just a babe in a manger.
Do you know Him?
