Questions for reflection:
- Who is Jesus in your eyes? A cute baby? King? God? Saviour?
- What gift are you giving to Jesus? What is it that Jesus would like from you?
- What do you think was different about Simeon and Anna (two very insignificant, ordinary people) that they could speak such powerful words about Jesus?
Rev. Chris Roth posts the text of the sermons on his blog.
