Through the story of Simeon in Luke 2, we encounter a man who had been waiting his entire life to see God's salvation, only to find it wrapped in ordinary cloth and placed in a repurposed manger. While God's people had spent generations experiencing God's presence through the law in tabernacles, and temples, God chose to come in the most unexpected way—as a vulnerable infant born to humble parents. This Advent season challenges us to recognize that Jesus didn't come to abolish the law but to fulfill it, becoming the perfect expression of God's love that the law always pointed to. When we struggle to receive this love—we're reminded that nothing in all creation can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. The invitation is clear: spend the rest of your life discovering how God loves you, knowing that His love is so deep, so loyal, and so generous that we'll never exhaust it.
