    "She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, and then was a widow until she was eighty-four" (Luke 2:36–37). Anna had been married only seven years when she became a widow, and she remained a widow for the rest of her life.

    tom lowe 1/8/2022 Anna, the Prophetess Who was Anna the prophetess in the Bible? I am ashamed that I could not answer that question until I researched this article.

    Anna, The Prophetess [part 2] Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 8, 2022
     | 2,599 views

    As a prophetess, Anna receives insight into things that typically remain hidden to ordinary people; she recognizes this child and tells of his significance to selected people in Jerusalem.

    Regarding Anna, Luke provides three terse verses that manage to vividly depict her as a woman deserving the honor bestowed on the elderly in the ancient Mediterranean world (v. 36-38). She could well serve as the Bible's example of a remarkable woman and mother. The appositive prophetess heads ...read more

    The Faithful Saw Him

     | 292 views

    XMAS - Advent sharpens spiritual sight; like Simeon and Anna, we recognize Jesus through devotion, worship, and Spirit-led attentiveness as God draws near.

    THE EYES HAVE IT There is a quiet kind of beauty in the Advent season that has nothing to do with lights, trees, music, or celebration. It is the beauty of waiting. Of watching. Of learning to see God when He draws near. Advent, at its heart, is a season of holy attentiveness—where the people of ...read more

    The birth of Christ the Lord was so momentous that Mary would treasure up all that occurred throughout the remainder of her days.

    “Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them. “And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he ...read more

    Luke is the only one who records Jesus' childhood. Since the main recipients of the Gospel of Luke were Greeks

    Introduction Except for the Gospel of Luke, the other gospels record Jesus from when he became an adult. Of course, the Gospel of Matthew records the circumstances when Jesus was born, Magi from the East who came and worshiped Jesus, and the story of Jesus' escape to Egypt, but it does not ...read more

    Christmas 2C. We learn from Jesus as a boy in the temple, that when God cannot be found, it is we who are looking in the wrong places.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen.

    Even as a child, Jesus was fully human, but understand how special His relationship was with God. Today, we have the same opportunities to know God as well, if only we will devote ourselves to His business.

    Introduction - When we were last in the Gospel of Luke, it was a very familiar story • We discussed Advent (the waiting & revealing of the Messiah) • We also rejoiced at the birth of Jesus – God incarnate (Immanuel) - Today we’ll begin a study of Luke; this should take ~ 3 months (to ...read more

    Anna shared about Jesus, bringing hope to the hopeful.

    THE THANKSGIVING AND TESTIMONY OF ANNA. Luke 2:36-40. Anna was a prophetess of great age, who departed not from the temple, and served God with fasting and prayers both night and day. It is interesting that Luke calls her a "prophetess," since we have long been taught that there was no ...read more

    When we live the life Christ has called us to - we are testifying about His birth. We testify because we are joyful of what He has done for us. This message is a story of prophecy, dependency on God, and (most importantly) witnessing to others.
