The Fifth Day in the Octave of Christmas

Luke 2:22-35




*Friends, today’s Gospel tells the story of the presentation of Jesus in
the Temple. The Temple was, in practically a literal sense, the dwelling
place of the Lord. In the Temple, divinity and humanity embraced, and the
human race was brought back online with God. But the sins of the nation
had, according to the prophet Ezekiel, caused the glory of the Lord to
depart from the Temple. Therefore, one of the deepest aspirations of
Israel’s people was to reestablish the Temple as the place of right praise
so that the glory of the Lord might return. When Joseph and Mary bring the
infant Jesus into the Temple, therefore, we are meant to appreciate that
the prophecy of Ezekiel is being fulfilled. The glory of Yahweh is
returning to his favorite dwelling. And this is precisely what Simeon sees.
The old seer is a symbol of ancient Israel, watching and waiting for the
coming of the Messiah. Simeon knew all of the old prophecies; he embodied
the expectation of the nation; and the Holy Spirit had given him the
revelation that he would not die until he had laid eyes on his Savior.*
