Simeon and Anna waited almost their whole lives to meet the promised rescuer. When they met Jesus, they rejoiced that God kept his promise! Read about it in Luke 2:25-40. You can download the video directly from Vimeo.

Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lordโ€™s Christ. 27And he came in 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, 28he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said,
29 โ€œLord, now you are letting your servante depart in peace,
according to your word;
30 for my eyes have seen your salvation
31 that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
and for glory to your people Israel.โ€
33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him. 34And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, โ€œBehold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed 35(and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), so that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.โ€
36 And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived with her husband seven years from when she was a virgin, 37and then as a widow until she was eighty-four.f She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. 38And coming up at that very hour she began to give thanks to God and to speak of him to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
39And when they had performed everything according to the Law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. 40And the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom. And the favor of God was upon him.

  1. This is AWESOME! I wil be teaching abt Simeon and Anna tomorrow in my Sunday School class! I will share this video with the kids. Thanks!

  2. This is great. I wanted to continue through into January about what the bible says about Jesus as he grew from a baby into a young boy. I’m going to talk about Simon and Sara the first week. Jesus being presented at the temple the second week. The third week we will talk about Jesus teaching in the temple. I think this is a great way to follow up with His birth. Thank you so much for your time, you put so much in to this ministry to help lead the children to the knowledge of God’s word.
    I love all the resources provided freely by your ministry .
