About this sermon

Speaker: Pastor Ken Addison, Teaching Pastor Beulah Baptist Church | Hopkins, SC Sermon preached: January 3, 2021 Scripture: Luke 2:25–38 In Luke 2:25–38, Pastor Ken Addison teaches from the story of Simeon and Anna, two faithful believers who were waiting for the coming of Christ. In dark days for Israel, God had not forgotten His people. He still had a faithful remnant who hoped in His promises, worshiped Him, and waited for His salvation. Simeon was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel. When he saw Jesus, he knew God had fulfilled His promise. Holding the Christ child in his arms, Simeon could depart in peace because his eyes had seen God’s salvation. Anna also gives us a beautiful picture of faithfulness. Even in old age and widowhood, she continued worshiping, fasting, praying, giving thanks, and speaking of Jesus to those waiting for redemption. Her life reminds believers that our mission is not over as long as God gives us breath. This sermon asks a searching question: Are we truly satisfied in Christ? Simeon needed nothing else once he had seen the Savior. The world cannot carry the weight of our hope, joy, peace, or satisfaction. Only Christ can. This passage also points us clearly to the gospel. Jesus came as the Savior for Jews and Gentiles, the light for the nations and the glory of Israel. He came to expose hearts, bear sin, satisfy the wrath of God, and save all who turn from sin and trust in Him. Watch and be encouraged to live faithfully in dark days, find your satisfaction in Christ alone, and share the good news of salvation with a world that needs Him. Thank you for watching.
