Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
This salvation you've been working on, it's not just for a select few, it's meant for everyone, everywhere.
God's plan was always meant to include all of us, not just some of us.
📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of Luke, this verse is part of Simeon's song of praise when he encounters the infant Jesus in the temple, as Mary and Joseph present their child according to Jewish custom. Simeon, a righteous and devout man guided by the Holy Spirit, had been promised he would not die before seeing the Messiah, and he recognizes Jesus as the fulfillment of God's promise to Israel and the world.
