成為祝福者 Become a Blessed 路加Luke 2:25-32
路加2:25-32 25在耶路撒冷有一個人，名叫西面；這人又公義又虔誠，素常盼望以色列的安慰者來到，又有聖靈在他身上。 26他得了聖靈的啟示，知道自己未死以前，必看見主所立的基督。 27他受了聖靈的感動，進入聖殿，正遇見耶穌的父母抱著孩子進來，要照律法的規矩辦理。 28西面就用手接過他來，稱頌上帝說： 29主啊！如今可以照你的話， 釋放僕人安然去世； 30因為我的眼睛已經看見你的救恩 31就是你在萬民面前所預備的： 32是照亮外邦人的光，又是你民以色列的榮耀。
Luke 2:25-32 25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. 27 Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, 28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: 29 “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you may now dismiss your servant in peace. 30 For my eyes have seen your salvation, 31 which you have prepared in the sight of all nations: 32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.”
