Now, let’s take this case now of Simeon. Now, he was a righteous old man. He believed that God was going to let him see the Christ before he saw death. Now, let’s say he’s eighty something years old. And then He—He had another witness there. There was Anna the prophetess at the temple, John the Baptist, and Joseph and Mary, and many of them: a remnant. God has always had a remnant somewhere. And He’s got a remnant tonight. Don’t you believe that? Now, tonight, His—His remnant are composed of His Body, His spiritual Body here on earth, baptized people into the Body making us the Body of Christ. Now, that doesn’t represent any certain church; it just represents all the baptized people of God into one Body. By not one church, but by one Spirit are we all baptized to one Body and become members of the Body of Christ.
