Simeon and Anna: Examples of Faith

Mary and Joseph demonstrate faithful obedience by following God's commands in presenting Jesus at the temple. There they encounter Simeon, a righteous man who had been promised he would see the Messiah before dying. When Simeon holds baby Jesus, he praises God and prophesies that Jesus will be salvation for all people, though He will face opposition. Anna, an elderly prophetess, also recognizes Jesus and immediately thanks God while telling others about the Savior. As Jesus grows, He becomes strong physically, filled with wisdom, and blessed with God's grace, showing us how to prioritize what truly matters in life.
