     | 12,118 views

    This message invites the listener to see more than just a cute little baby in a cute little manger at Christmastime, but to see what Simeon saw when he met the baby Jesus in the temple. He saw a Sacrifice, a Savior, and a Stone.

She went to find a man, his clothes poor, obviously looking for some Christmas odd jobs. He asked her if there was anything he could do. She ...read more
