Waiting for Christmas: Simeon & Anna

There is much we can learn from Simeon and Anna, two elderly figures who - even in the face of contrary circumstances - were full of expectation and faith about God breaking into the world. Their Luke 2 encounter with Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus in the temple teaches us much about the identity of Jesus too. In Simeon we find the hope of consolation and in Anna the hope of redemption; as you learn what these twin hopes are and how Jesus fulfils both hopes, you will discover the life-changing truth about what it means for Him to be your consolation and your redemption.

A Tale of Two Kings: Herod & Jesus
