Simeon's Nunc Dimittis (Luke 2:25–35) — The Songs of Advent

Simeon's song "Now let depart" reveals the ultimate freedom of dying to self—a man so captivated by seeing God's salvation in the infant Christ that he can release his grip on life itself with perfect peace. This Advent sermon explores how true faith conquers not just the fear of death, but our desperate clinging to self-preservation, teaching us that when you have nothing to fear from death, the world has nothing left to threaten you with. The worst they can do is kill you, and for the believer who has held Christ in his arms, death is not loss but gain—not an ending, but a peaceful departure home.

This Christmas, we remember that Christ's birth reminds us that there is greater life in Him than in our old selves.
