Regardless of his exact background and pedigree, Simeon was anticipating this day. For he knew that peace that transcends death could only be found in Christ Jesus the Lord, the Messiah foretold of old and who was promised to be seen by him. And that day came. Given all of this, it is unsurprising that Simeon broke out into song. How could he not sing? What greater reason to sing than this could there possibly be? He had met the Lord, the Savior of the world, the One who could finally destroy sin and death and overthrow the reign of the devil! Now that he had met the Christ, the Savior, Simeon could depart in peace. He could lie with his ancestors, knowing that God had indeed kept his promises and would not allow His people to be under the oppression of evil any more.
