Expectation

The God of all praise has come.  The God proclaimed by psalmist and prophet, priest and king has come and is held in the arms of Simeon and Anna.  In the expectation of this old man and crazy old woman, gives light to the immensity, the importance, the incomparability of this Christ.  Reminds me of the old S. M. Lockridge sermon.

I read a piece in The Incarnation an Anthology  by Penelope Stokes called “The Ancients.” It was the narrative of Simeon’s experience and expectation.  Like the Lockridge sermon I wept to hear.
