Anticipation
Last Sunday in church Wayne spoke about Simeon.
An elderly man, Simeon had waited patiently for the Messiah. In obedience to the Spirit he finds his waiting has finally come to an end.
"Led by the Spirit, he entered the Temple. As the parents of the child Jesus brought
him in to carry out the rituals of the Law, Simeon took him into his arms and blessed God:
God, you can now release your servant;
release me in peace as you promised.
With my own eyes I've seen your salvation"
Luke 2:27-30
A fragile Messiah held in the arms of one who faithfully waited. Perfect Love wrapped in precious human form. An unexpected way for God Himself to arrive.
May you come to understand the beautiful, scandalous, love of this wonderful Saviour this Christmas.
Look for Him in unexpected ways.
You will not be disappointed.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you as well Angie. :)
