Lord, thank you for being the CONSOLATION OF ISRAEL and my consolation
“there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the CONSOLATION OF ISRAEL: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.”
It’s possible that you’ve not heard Jesus referred to as the “Consolation of Israel.” But, isn’t it exciting to learn the many ways Christ is described? Why is Jesus called this? The Rabbis spoke of the coming Messiah as the “consoler” or One who would bring comfort to Israel. So, when Simeon, anointed by the Holy Spirit, saw the infant Jesus at His presentation in the temple, he knew He was seeing the long awaited Messiah.
Jesus is the CONSOLATION OF ISRAEL, and He is also the Consolation of anyone who turns to Him for salvation. Can you fill in the blank with your name? Jesus is the Consolation of _________________________.
Lord Jesus Christ, CONSOLATION of ISRAEL and consolation of us, we praise and worship You. There is none who brings comfort to our soul like You do.
