In this message, we meet a couple of people who got to check off their one big bucket list item. Their names are Simeon and Anna. You won’t find them in any manger scene. You won’t find them on any Christmas card. We don’t sing any Christmas carols about them, but they are just as much a part of the Christmas story as the Wise Men or the Shepherds.
Both of them had spent years, decades eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Messiah. And now, Jesus has finally come, and God grants Simeon and Anna this lifelong wish to see His anointed one, to see the promised Savior.
