Travel Light (pt.2) Simeon Sees Salvation

Pastor Cody "25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout [carefully observing the divine Law], and looking for the Consolation of Israel; and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 27 Prompted by the Spirit, he came into the temple [enclosure]; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for Him the custom required by the Law, 28 Simeon took Him into his arms, and blessed and praised and thanked God, and said, 29 “Now, Lord, You are releasing Your bond-servant to leave [this world] in peace, According to Your word; 30 For my eyes have seen Your Salvation, 31 Which You have prepared in the presence of all peoples, 32 A Light for revelation to the Gentiles [to disclose what was previously unknown], And [to bring] the praise and honor and glory of Your people Israel.” 33 And His [legal] father and His mother were amazed at what was said about Him. 34 Simeon blessed them and said to Mary His mother, “Listen carefully: this Child is appointed and destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and for a sign that is to be opposed— 35 and a sword [of deep sorrow] will pierce through your own soul—so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” ~ Luke 2:25-35 ESV "6 One hand full of rest and patience is better than two fists full of labor and chasing after the wind." ~ Ecclesiastes 4:6 AMPIn a crowded, busy holiday season, it’s easy for people to feel weighed down by family relationships, financial pressure, regret, or failures. Sometimes it’s not as simple as going from point A to point B walking with God when your burdened by stress and distracted by obligations. This short 2-week series will help us see that the weight we feel sometimes comes from things that God never asked us to carry. Lucky for us His solution is simple: Let go of the baggage and travel light. #PresenceOverPresents GET THE APP This is a great resource for you on the go.
