Erlo Stegen emphasizes the significance of bringing children to church, as exemplified by Joseph and Mary taking Jesus to the temple. He highlights Simeon, a righteous and devout man who awaited the Messiah with hope and purity, illustrating that a clean life allows for divine revelation. Simeon's assurance of seeing the Lord before his death serves as a reminder that true satisfaction and readiness for death come only through Christ. Stegen contrasts the peaceful death of believers with the agony of those who reject God, urging listeners to embrace Jesus and live in anticipation of His return. The sermon calls for a life of purity and expectation, encouraging all to seek their own revelation of Christ.
