Merry Christmas! On this final Sunday of 2023, we continue celebrating Christmas by hearing in worship the story of Mary and Joseph dedicating the baby Jesus in the temple. In that traditional ritual, something unexpected happens as a man named Simeon and a prophet named Anna each recognize who this child is. This child is not just a regular baby; he is God's plan for salvation. He is the Messiah, the long-awaited savior. As God's people, we follow Simeon & Anna's example and we worship our savior.
Today's message focuses on Luke 2:21-40.
