Simeon and Anna
Continuing to follow the early life of Jesus we now find ourselves entering the temple for the dedication of Jesus. Here we run into two characters, Simeon and Anna. Simeon had spent his life in preparation of the promise of the deliverance of Israel and Anna, a widow for the majority of her live, lived in the temple praying and waiting for the redemption of Israel. It seems that their entire lives had been lived waiting for this one particular encounter with the Jesus and his parents.
That much focus, that much dedication, all leading to a specific moment. Had Simeon or Anna decided that they deserved a break, or if they were distracted by trying to capture the perfect Instagram photo op. or just simply to tired to pick their heads up off the floor they could have missed it. An entire live’s preparation missed because of distraction.
What are we living to accomplish? How do we prepare for our live’s purpose? What is our live’s purpose? Join us tonight as we take a look at living a life of preparation.
Doors open at 3:30, dinner at 5:15, and the experience to follow.
