After the Birth of JESUS
Luke 2:21-40 (KJV)
21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
Mary and Joseph brought the baby JESUS to the Temple, to fulfill the laws of circumcision (See Genesis 17:12) and for Mary to be deemed clean for purification, after giving birth (See Leviticus 12:6). Now, while in the Temple, Mary and Joseph encounter two people. The first, Simeon, announces that he has now seen his salvation! He also gives a warning to Mary, that her own soul will be pierced. As he spoke, both Joseph and Mary were attentive to his words. Simeon, was drawn to the Temple that day, by the HOLY SPIRIT, and the HOLY SPIRIT spoke through him. Both Mary and Joseph had visitations by angels. So, the words that Simeon spoke to them, was extremely important. Simeon made some important announcements about the baby JESUS. JESUS would be a light to gentiles, and be the glory to the people of Israel. In otherwords, JESUS would bring salvation to the world. Simeon gives hint that JESUS would cause many to believe, and others would revile him. Mary would carry the burden for her son, as all mothers do for their children.
Anna, a prophetess, from the Tribe of Asher, also came and spoke to Mary and Joseph, concerning their newborn son. But she did not stop at speaking to Mary and Joseph, but took to the streets, announcing the savior had come!
Two people, who did the bidding and will of GOD, met with Joseph and Mary. Can you imagine, the thoughts they had as they took care of the baby JESUS? In the spiritual realm, JESUS was born to a SAVIOR to the world. The promised MESSIAH! Yet, he was a baby, and needed earthly parents to look after HIS every need. A vulnerable baby. HE came to us in human form, to experience all things that a baby boy would encounter, and yet, HE remained without sin.
GOD uses ordinary people, to proclaim the GOSPEL, even today.
