As We Gather - God’s supreme goodness is revealed in all his works. But most especially in the work of our redemption. Lost and condemned he finds us and pays the ransom by sending his only Son. As Simeon and Anna greet the infant Savior with words of praise that lift us up. Our eyes have seen God’s salvation. We give thanks for Jesus’ work on the cross to conquer our sin and in the tomb to conquer death. “His praise endures forever” (Ps 111:10)!
