Memory verse:Luke 2:32. A light to reveal your will to the Gentiles and bring glory to your people Israel.”
Bible Reading :Luke 2:29-31 GNB. Key Verse:v30.
“Now, Lord, you have kept your promise, and you may let your servant go in peace. With my own eyes I have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples:
By the time Jesus was brought to the temple at the completion of eight days according to the laws of Moses to be named and circumcised, Simeon and Anna was their to bear witness about the fulfillment of God’s word and the purpose for which he was born. God had spoken to them them about the Messiah being born in their lifetime and they waited in the place of prayer by the Spirit of God to see the fulfillment of the promise of God in their lifetime. “At that time there was a man named Simeon living in Jerusalem. He was a good, God-fearing man and was waiting for Israel to be saved. The Holy Spirit was with him and had assured him that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s promised Messiah. Led by the Spirit, Simeon went into the Temple. When the parents brought the child Jesus into the Temple to do for him what the Law required, Simeon took the child in his arms and gave thanks to God: “Now, Lord, you have kept your promise,and you may let your servant go in peace.” Luke 2:25-29.
“There was a very old prophet, a widow named Anna, daughter of Phanuel of the tribe of Asher. She had been married for only seven years and was now 84 years old. She never left the Temple; day and night she worshipped God, fasting and praying. That very same hour she arrived and gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were waiting for God to set Jerusalem free.” Luke 2:36-38. Their confirmational utterances was amazing as they confirmed things that the Spirit of God had made known to Mary and Joseph by the encounters and revelations they had before then concerning the new born child and God’s purpose for his life.
“A light to reveal your will to the Gentiles and bring glory to your people Israel.” The child’s father and mother were amazed at the things Simeon said about him. Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother, “This child is chosen by God for the destruction and the salvation of many in Israel. He will be a sign from God which many people will speak against” Luke 2:32-34. Simeon did mention something important here that I want us to note in v34 where he said that Jesus Christ was for the falling or destruction and rising or salvation of many , depending on how they respond to him. When men despise and work against the purpose of Christ and his kingdom or when they walk in unbelief, they work out their own destruction while those who believe, love and identify with his course on earth walk into the realm of salvation and victorious living eternally by the help of his Spirit.
Prayer :Thank you Father God for giving us Jesus your son. I choose today to believe your son, whom you sent. I will love and live for him all my days, since he died to save my soul from destruction. Thank you for the my rising and the salvation of my soul through your son in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading :1 John 3:1-24.
