As our sermon series The Gospel of Luke, Part I: The Arrival of the King progresses with the presentation of young Jesus at the temple, we witness the faith of Simeon and Anna and the faithfulness of God to send a Savior to Israel and all the nations. As foretold by Simeon, this Savior would undergo tremendous suffering. Nonetheless, it would be through Christ’s suffering that we would not only find salvation, but the sweetest of comforts amidst our own suffering and persecution as Christians.
