Read Luke 2:25-30  What is the name of the old man who was in the Temple when Baby Jesus was brought in? He was called a devout man, which means he worshiped God and did his best to obey God and God's Word. God had told this old man that he would not die until he had seen the Messiah with his own eyes. The Messiah was to be the king of Israel who would deliver them from their enemies. The Jews thought that the Messiah would be an earthly king and would deliver them from the Roman soldiers, who had beaten them in war. But Jesus Christ was the Messiah who would be a heavenly King to deliver is all from our sins. The freedom in our hearts from sin is more important than to be free from evil rulers. What is on the inside is more important than what is on the outside. When the Old man saw Baby Jesus, God's Holy Spirit excited him and his heart was filled with joy. As he held the little baby, he said that his life was complete and that he could die in peace. How good it is to feel God's peace in our hearts!
