Bible Text: Luke 2:25-35 | Preacher: James Allan | Series: Christmas 2019 | Simeon says he has now been dismissed because he has seen God’s salvation. The Christian can say they can leave this world for the same reason. This is what it is to be saved; to know Jesus Christ. This light is for all mankind; everyone needs Christ. Mary will have sorrow. Jesus was born to die that we may have eternal life.
