Our Redmption Is Nigh, Or, Eagerly Awaiting Our Rescue

Last night I preached on Lk. 2: 21-38 with the above 2 titles as my theme. I did not announce the title, so the sermon did not have a name. It was the advent sermon I would have preached had I the opportunity. Just as Simeon and Anna longed for their Messiah, so should we. Their hope originated in God's Word. As they searched the scriptures in faith, the Holy Spirit created within them a desire for the coming of the Messiah.
