INTRODUCTION
I want to speak about a MAN.
He is only mentioned in one place in the Bible.
His whole biography takes up a mere 11 verses.
Only six verses of his actual words are recorded in the Bible—just six!
We know hardly anything about him.
He was not a king or a political leader.
He was not a prophet—at least not in any official sense.
He was not a priest as far as we know.
We don’t know what his occupation was; whether he was rich or poor; or whether he was married or had children.
But we do at least know his name: his name was SIMEON.
Let’s read together his short biography. It’s found in Luke 2:25-35.
Here we have the extremely short biography of an ordinary man walking in total obedience to the Spirit of God and as a result being a partner with God in His purposes at a very important juncture in the history of the world.
