There’s Something About That Birth: “Can I get a Witness?” Luke 2:21-40
The Consolation/Redemption of Israel

III. The Witness/Testimony of Simeon - 2:25-34
1. The Credibility of Simeon (4)
a. He was righteous
b. He was devout
c. He was waiting in the consolation of Israel - not said of the JRE!
d. The Holy Spirit was upon him -

2. The Holy Spirit revealed to him
a. He would not see death until he saw the Lord’s Christ -
b. Like Jesus & Paul - Simeon wasn’t afraid of death. Simeon anticipated death -

• John 17:1-5
• II Corinthians 5:6-8
• Philippians 1:21-24
• II Timothy 4:6-8
• Revelation 12:11
c. Simeon blesses God - v. 28
d. Simeon “blesses” them - vv. 34-35

• Luke records a third praise (1:46-55; 68-79; 2:29-32)
• One of the evidences of the Spirit speaking through Simeon is that he quotes the prophecy of Gentile inclusion “a light to the nations” (something Luke does frequently)
