Ps Alan Lamb - "The Promise Of Jesus"

In Luke chapter 2 we read the faithfulness of God and the the faithfulness of two people - Simeon and Anna, two people who held on to the promise of God given to them that they would see with their own eyes the promise of Israel and the world. Both Simeon and Anna could have given up but they didn't and they could have said no this cannot be the promise of the Messiah but they refused to be limited by their own ideology and trusted the word of God that was given to them - the promise of Jesus.
