Episode 11 — While others hurried through the Christmas story, Simeon waited with patient hope.

In this episode of Characters of Christmas, we meet a righteous and devout man who lived with God’s promise that he would not die before seeing the Messiah. When Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the temple, Simeon recognized what others missed and declared that salvation had come—not only for Israel, but as a light to the Gentiles. Simeon reminds us that God honors patient faith, that waiting is never wasted, and that true peace is found only in Christ.
