Waiting for Salvation

In life we wait for many things, ranging from the trivial to tremendously important. There is great relief and joy when what we wait for arrives, but yet there always remains a sense that there’s more to wait for, more to what we need. Simeon and Anna, along with the nation of Israel, waited for a salvation that impacted not just them and their nation, but for the entire world. As they held baby Jesus in their arms, their wait was over; God’s salvation has come.
