In plain sight

  ...for my eyes have seen your salvation
that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples...
Luke 2:29-32

Cradling the infant boy in his arms, Simeon praised God. And welcomed his own death.

He had been waiting for this moment. Now he was seeing salvation—in the eyes of a baby, a God. And because of this birth, he could die in peace.

Because of that baby, we can all die in peace. If we choose to believe. Our options were delivered in plain view for all people. A bright light had entered the world through this birth (John 1:5), and has never left.
