Easter 2016 reflections: my eyes have seen your salvation

Easter 2016 reflections: my eyes have seen your salvation by ric Gustafson


Today's bible reading is Luke 2: 25-32. A man of God named Simeon was eagerly waiting for the Messiah. Being led by the Spirit, Simeon entered the Temple. The Holy Spirit told him that the Messiah would be there that day.
He scanned the crowd. His eyes rested on a peasant man with a teenage wife. The wife was holding their infant Son. Overjoyed, he swept the infant into his arms. Then he blessed the Lord. This was the most important event in his life. Now he could rest in peace.
When we follow the Holy Spirit, we will find hope. The most important thing in our lives will come when we look into Jesus's face. We can rest in the peace of God when our eyes have seen God's salvation.
