John 8: 32:“You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Why was it that, when the child Jesus was presented in the temple on His fortieth day, others saw a baby, while Simeon saw truth, freedom, righteousness, and the One Who would destroy the works of the devil? (1 John 3: 7, 8; the epistle reading for today) Because Simeon had been listening to the Holy Spirit (Luke 2: 26), and, along with Anna the prophetess, knew what he was looking for. Read the whole story on this Feast of the Presentation from Luke 2: 22-38, and be amazed at what can happen when we listen!
