Day 21 Takeaways // Major Moment: Simeon recognized the infant Jesus as the Christ and gave a blessing.

  1. It was a blessing to read baby Jesus as the sacrifice or lamb, and Mary and Joseph didn’t bring a lamb with them as it was reworked in the law of Leviticus. Second, I love reading the role of the Holy Spirit in Simeon’s life in revealing God’s truth and directing him to Jesus. I love finding the scriptures about the Holy Spirit is being our comforter (helper), power to witness to others and the one that pours God’s love into our hearts. It also blessed me to read the joy Simeon had seeing the fulfillment of the Word in his life. Even if some say there is no room for Jesus/us in the Inn, Christ is our true joy!

  2. Joseph and Mary were obedient to the Lord in offereing a sacrifice, even though they were poor. I also agree with ...what a blessing to read Simeon's response when he saw Jesus!
