    We have been waiting and watching through November and December. Simeon and Anna, too, were waiting, and now, like these senior saints, our wait is over. Lord, now let Your servants depart in peace; according to Your Word.

It is the only place where we see Jesus presented for circumcision at the Temple, and the only gospel that ...read more
