## Resource

The third and final Christmas song of Luke’s gospel belongs to Simeon, a righteous man who met baby Jesus at the Temple. Simeon’s life was marked by waiting—not in passive resignation, but in faithful expectation rooted in the promises God made to Abraham that He would bless the world. Simeon’s song reflects this theme, as he found joy in recognizing Jesus as “the consolation of Israel”—the long-awaited fulfillment of God’s promise to the Jewish people. Let Simeon’s song repeat this truth in your mind this Christmas season as we celebrate our Savior’s coming!
