A Song of Hope Luke 2:22-32
Even if Covid was not happening right now, most of us would probably be in a situation where hoping in God would be difficult. Even though Jesus was born near the end of Simeon’s life, Simeon kept praying and hoping in the coming of Christ, because he trusted God’s word. The wait amplified the joy he had when he saw Him. There is reason for hope (2:25) and Jesus is proof that God kept His word (2:29). The word is clear communication from God to us to have hope, and we know that God keeps His word.
While we are moving forward in hope, let’s hope in God’s word (2:29). Let us not base our opinion on God depending on our expectations. Instead of hoping on the outcome, let’s hope in His presence. Let us also see with eyes of faith, be an agent of hope (2:30-32), and take Jesus in our arms. When we cling onto Him, He holds onto us.
