Even as a woman, Anna’s character makes her testimony worthy.

Anna was a woman of uncommon character, not just the length of her widowhood, but the character of her widowhood. Anna’s life was dedicated to God and her character is what makes her testimony worthy. God’s word tells us to honor senior saints because of their wisdom. Age in years does not make everyone wise, but mature men and women in Christ are to be sought after. Travis discusses the change in Anna’s life at the temple before and after she meets Mary and baby Jesus. It is profound how God uses godly lives. How in His sovereignty, we meet other Christians who are able to help us through our difficult times.

Scripture shows Anna as a very unique woman used by God.

Travis reflects on the Bibles portrayal of the older Christian. He examines what the bible says regarding the treatment of older Christians and how that has changed in America. Travis opens Anna’s life to us, which is another example of a person that led a Godly life. Luke explains that Anna was a prophetess and lived in a very dark time in Jewish history. God choses who will speak for Him and Anna is another of God’s chosen. Travis explains how unique Anna is and what we can learn from her. This record of Anna in scripture reminds us that God is faithful to His promise to always preserve a faithful remnant. Her actions are also a lesson on how to be grateful and thankful in very difficult times.

The Holy Spirit uses Simeon to prophesy about Jesus’ mission.

Simeon reveals to us through His statements to Mary, that God sent Jesus to divide, as well as to save. Everyone wants to hear the marvelous part of Simeon’s message, God’s gospel. God’s salvation is truly amazing! But there’s a response required of us. Simeons message to Mary tells us that following Jesus will bring division between people. Jesus would not be bringing peace but division. There is no middle ground, you either stand with Jesus or in opposition to Him.

Joseph and Mary marvel at Simeon’s testimony about Jesus.

Joseph and Mary were at the temple to present Jesus to the Lord as prescribed in the Law of Moses. Travis explains what happened at the ordained temple meeting between Simeon, Joseph, and Mary. The couple had already been exposed to some amazing and miraculous events in their lives. When they met Simeon and heard the words of his testimony about God’s Son, Jesus they marveled. Simeons testimony brought glory to God, just as every faithful believer and follower of Jesus Christ should.

A life that reflects belief and trust in God’s promises.

Simeon’s life was characterized by a belief in God that caused him to live in patient expectation for the promised Messiah. He trusted God and took God at His word. God chooses who will speak for Him and Simeon was chosen. Luke tells us that the Holy Spirit was upon him, which was given by God to very few in Old Testament times. Simeons total purpose in life was to give a true testimony of Christ and to give glory to God. This is the purpose of every Christian today as well. Are you faithful in giving God Glory and a good testimony of Christ in your life?
