On the Sunday closest to 40 days after Christmas, Christians celebrate the occasion of Mary and Joseph presenting their son at the temple. This beautiful passage is pregnant with meaning. Why does Mary need to be "purified" after giving birth? What does Simeon think of the Gospel promise, as compared to the religious culture of the day? Why do Mary and Joseph appear so amazed when Simeon praises their newborn son? Pastor Tyler preaches from Luke 2:22-35.
