Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; this man was righteous and devout, looking forward to the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit rested on him.

It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah.

Luke 2:25–26

When Jesus was eight days old, his parents brought him to the Temple for a blessing, per Jewish custom.

While there, they meet two remarkable people: Simeon and Anna, both of whom knew the truth about Jesus.

By the power of the Spirit, they speak a prophetic word to Mary and Joseph about the life journey their newborn child will have.

What an amazing moment and time the birth of Jesus must have been.

It was a time of God signs and wonders at every turn.

Join us Sunday as we explore this story and how God continues to work wonders in our lives today.
