The Spirit and Simeon

"Now in Jerusalem there was a man named Simeon. He was an upright and devout man; he looked forward to the restoration of Israel and the Holy Spirit rested on him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death until he has set eyes on the Christ of the Lord. Promoted by the Spirit he came to the Temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the law required, he took him into his arms and blessed God." (Luke 2: 25 – 27)

The Spirit and Simeon

  • Habitat of the Spirit: devout and upright man; man of hope; man of expectation
  • The Holy Spirit rested on him: Spirit indwelling
  • The Holy Spirit revealed to him: Spirit and revelation; Spirit and knowledge
  • Prompted by the Spirit: Spirit and inspiration; Spirit and guidance.
