Redemption that Brings Consolation
Scripture Text: Luke 2:25-38

AI-Generated Summary: We’re exploring the often-overlooked story of Simeon and Anna meeting baby Jesus at the temple. These elderly prophets represent Israel’s long wait for the Messiah, and their encounter reveals three profound comforts: we’re no longer in darkness about who God is, we’re freed from the bondage of sin and shame, and we don’t need to fear death. Like Simeon, who could face death peacefully after seeing his salvation, we can have comfort amid life’s difficulties because Christ has redeemed us. Christmas offers this redemption freely—we just need to believe and trust in Jesus.
