Seeds of Christmas Past
You've heard peoiple say that children are a blessing from God. That's true.
But no matter how precious your baby is, the blessing of Jesus Christ can't be compared to any other birth or any other infant. The blessing of Jesus Christ is designed to shed life, light, and love upon the entire world.
Luke 2: 25-32
And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. So he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the law, he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said:
“Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, According to Your word; For my eyes have seen Your salvation which You have prepared before the face of all peoples, a light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel.”
- Jesus was blessed by Simeon the Priest
- God told Simeon that he would not die until he had seen the Lord
- Jesus lived a normal childhood
God has graciously blessed us with the gift of Jesus Christ. Receive the blessing by accepting Christ as Savior.
