My Eyes Have Seen Your Salvation
This Gospel passage gives us
two lessons on both receiving and sharing God’s salvation.
Receiving God’s salvation:
Simeon’s desire, a desire of
his lifetime, is to “see God’s salvation.”
Once he has seen God’s promise fulfilled, the longing of his life is
also fulfilled.
Do we have the same absolute
desire for God? When we do, we would be
more ready to recognize God’s presence around us, and would know more and more
how great a gift it is.
Sharing God’s salvation:
The gift of God’s salvation is
given to Simeon in an infant, and through a family carrying out their religious
duties.
Many a times, we bring God and
God’s salvation into the lives of others by doing what God asks of us, as ordinary
and routine as they can be.
