The list here could almost be too long for the scope of this article. The Bible says in Luke 2 that Simeon was both “just and devout,” that he had the Holy Spirit, and that he was told he would get the opportunity to see Christ before Simeon was to die. The chance to see the Savior was something that the Israelites had longed for centuries. Everybody wanted to see Him, but few got the opportunity. God’s telling Simeon that he would get the chance to see the Savior was a massive blessing that Simeon would have recognized. Simeon did ultimately get to see Jesus before he died, and though this may not be attributed as a great action of Simeon’s, it is proof that God loves us – even when we’re old.
