Hook: Describe the traits of the most passionate Christian you know.

Book: Simeon probably had all these traits and more. He was righteous and devout, patiently waited for God’s promises to Israel, and was led by the Holy Spirit. His passion is self-evident in his prayer desiring Jesus to be a Light to the Gentiles and to bring glory to Israel as well. Simeon longed to see all people know that salvation comes from Jesus.

Took: Are your passions centered on the right things? How could you make Simeon’s passion for the salvation of others a priority in your life?
