For thousands of years there was a desperate longing for the Savior to come. Prophets foretold the coming of the One who would bring light to those walking in darkness, set captives free, bind up the brokenhearted, and wash hearts clean. Many yearned deeply for this Messiah, whom God was going to send to be a sacrifice for sins and topurchase forgiveness and salvation. One week after the birth of Jesus, His parents brought Him to the temple to present Him to the Lord and offer the required sacrifice. Simeon, a righteous and devout man who was filled with the Spirit of God, rejoiced greatly, and blessed God and proclaimed:

“Now Lord, You are releasing Your bond-servant to depart in peace, according to Your word; for my eyes have seen Your salvation, which You have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light of revelation to the nations, and the glory of Your people Israel.” Luke 2:29-32
