A soft, painterly scene of the Jerusalem temple courts at sunrise, where an elderly man steps forward from the shadows as Mary and Joseph approach with the Christ-child, long golden and blue tones creating a sacred sense of anticipation.

The Old Man Who Finally Saw

This Christmas devotion reflects on Simeon in Luke 2 as he finally beholds the Christ-child in the temple. It explores the hope, fulfillment, and revelation found in Jesus, and connects the moment to the longings and spiritual needs of our world today. A vivid, worshipful reminder that Christ is the Consolation of Israel, the Light for the nations, and God’s salvation revealed.
