In His Arms

One of the great joys, not only at Christmas, but throughout the church year, is singing this song of Simeon in our worship services. We usually refer to us as the Nunc Dimittis, from the opening words in Latin. But I’ve always marveled over what took place right before this old believer burst into song. Luke tells us, “Simeon took Him in his arms.” That's no small detail.
