Reflections with Andy - Luke 2: 22-40 - Longing for Jesus

Andy Stoddard

We see two people today, Simeon and Anna, who are overcome when they see Jesus as a baby. These are people who have been waiting, most of their adult lives, to see Him. They knew the Lord was sending a Messiah, and they longed to see Him. They longed to experience Him. They longed to know Him.  How about us? Today, in our regular lives, do we long to see Jesus?  Do we long to know Jesus?  Do we long for Jesus?  They did, and they were overwhelmed when they finally saw Him. Today, are we the same?  Are we longing for Jesus?
