Recognizing Jesus



Last night at services the first scriptures of Christmas were read. Simeon and Anna had waited their whole lives to see the promise fulfilled. I wonder if I would have recognized Jesus if I were them? I'm sure he didn't show up in the form they expected. This was the One they had waited for? This was the One that would bring salvation to Israel? How could this be? And yet they didn't hesitate. They embraced his appearance and worshipped him without hesitation. Oh, how I hope I would do the same each time he comes into my life.
