Luke 2:25-38 New Living Translation (NLT)
In our reading from Luke, today, we are in Jerusalem at the Temple. We meet Simeon; a Spirit-empowered man who is holding on to a promise from the Lord regarding Israel’s Messiah. As, well, we find Joseph and Mary who have come to fulfill their sacred obligations by presenting Jesus to the Lord. We meet Anna, a woman devoted to worshiping God. In a divine appointment, the promise and the present (sign) intersect at a point of revelation; the prophecy is proclaimed to be fulfilled by two witnesses.
