(ESV)\n\n Mary and Joseph, on the fortieth day after Jesus was born,\n brought Him to the Temple in Jerusalem in accordance with the\n purification and redemption laws given by God to Moses. The\n actions of the parents reflected on Jesus, who had to keep God's\n Law perfectly on behalf of all sinners. Yet Jesus, at forty days\n old, had to rely on His faithful parents who took their God-given\n responsibilities seriously.\n\n While entering the Temple, the family was stopped by a man\n who had been promised by God that he would see the Christ, the\n Savior of the world. Mary and Joseph knew the extraordinary\n circumstances of Jesus' birth, and the shepherds heard the\n proclamation of the angels the night Jesus was born.\n\n Simeon, however, was not present at Jesus' birth. Yet this\n faithful man who was waiting for the consolation of Israel, the\n Redeemer, recognized Jesus. His words, which we call the Nunc\n Dimittis, ``Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in\n peace,'' clearly told Jesus' parents about the work of their Son.\n\n Saint Luke recorded: ``And his father and his mother\n marveled at what was said about him.'' Clearly Simeon was\n speaking the prophetic word of God as enabled by the Holy Spirit.\n All who heard this word stood in awe of God's rich blessing of\n life and salvation, even as they wondered how this infant would\n carry the sins of the world.\n\n May our Lord grant us faith to recognize our Savior and to\n proclaim His goodness. Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
