OUR EVERY DESIRE

‘Guided by the Spirit, he entered the temple complex. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, to perform for Him what was customary under the law, Simeon took Him up in his arms and praised God’ (Luke 2:27-28)…

Highland,

Along with Simeon, may the joy of our hearts abound over the child who became, not only his sin-offering, but the sin-offering for the entire world.

May we also remain in awe, with Simeon, as he speaks from the same heart as David, who said in his last words: ‘Is it not true that my house is with God? For He has established an everlasting covenant with me, ordered and secured in every detail. Will He not bring about my whole salvation and my every desire’ (2 Sam 23:5)?

As Simeon holds this child in his arms, he is embracing his whole salvation and, at the same time, his every desire.

Highland, may we find our every desire to be met in Him, Jesus, who is the light and the life of mankind.

Merry Christmas,

The Strickland Family
