Simeon's Song

III. The Song is Sung vs. 28-32
Luke 2:28-32, “Then he took Him into his arms, and blessed God, and said, 29 “Now Lord, You are releasing Your bond-servant to depart in peace, According to Your word; 30 For my eyes have seen Your salvation, 31 Which You have prepared in the presence of all peoples, 32 A Light of revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of Your people Israel.”
“I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing” (Genesis 12:2).
IV. The Sword is Swung vs. 33-35
Luke 2:33-35, “And His father and mother were amazed at the things which were being said about Him. 34 And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary His mother, “Behold, this Child is appointed for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and for a sign to be opposed— 35 and a sword will pierce even your own soul—to the end that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.””
Conclusion:
“I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me” (John 14:6).
