SESSION 4
Simeon of Jerusalem There was a man named Simeon who lived in Jerusalem. Simeon loved God. He listened to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit promised Simeon he would not die until he had seen the Messiah. One day Simeon was in the Temple, where Jewish people worshiped God. Mary and Joseph came to the Temple. Simeon saw Mary carrying the baby Jesus. Guided by the grace of the Holy Spirit, Simeon knew Jesus was the Savior. Simeon took Jesus into his arms. He praised God and said, “Now, Master, you may let your servant go in peace. My eyes have seen the Savior. He is the one you have promised to all people.” adapted from Luke 2:25–32
