"Anna's Song": Mark Nicholas

Luke Chapter 2 v 29-38

The final message in our Advent 2016 series "Songs of Joy, Songs of Deliverance".

For this final session in the series, we pick up from where we left last week as Mary and Joseph enter the temple with their newborn son. After hearing the prophetic song of Simeon, the family are joined by Anna, an old lady who spent most of her time at the temple, worshiping night and day with her fastings and prayers.

At the very time Simeon was praying, she showed up, broke into an anthem of praise to God, and talked about the child to all who were waiting expectantly for the freeing of Jerusalem.
