Ultimately, Jesus explains the story of our lives, just as He did for Simeon. Alistair Begg explains that this just and devout man of Jerusalem had a story that made sense of his life: he was waiting on the Messiah. When he met Jesus in the temple, he recognized that He was the one for whom he was waiting—the Light of World. Yet he also warned that the boy would be an obstacle for many, which would bring them grief. We likewise cannot be neutral about Jesus.
