Today’s message from our study in the book of Luke focuses on a man named Simeon who was looking for and longing for the consolation of Israel – Jesus Christ. Luke makes this important emphasis on the life of Simeon since he was a devout and righteous man, someone that God desires us to also emulate. Pastor Phillip also discusses the importance of the reason Mary and Joseph were bringing baby Jesus to the temple and why they offered a pigeon as the sacrificial offering.
