What Does It Take To Die in Peace? | Christ For You
Text: Luke 2:22–40 | Christmas 1 & The Baptism of Luke Pirino
Simeon holds a forty-day-old baby and says something outrageous: “Now I can die in peace.” Why? Because salvation isn’t an idea or a feeling. Salvation has a face. Salvation is a Person. And Simeon is holding Him.
On Christmas 1, we see what Christmas really means: God puts salvation into a baby, small enough to be held and strong enough to hold you forever. And in Holy Baptism, that same Savior comes to you personally, by name, with forgiveness, the Holy Spirit, and a future that ends in life.
If you fear death, if your conscience accuses you, if you find yourself doing spiritual math, this sermon is for you. You don’t depart in peace because you got your life together. You depart in peace because Christ got you.
