A Big Thank You to Gary Riedel: Head Elder of AIC!

SIMEON
*Luke 2:22-32:*
“And when the time came for their purification according to the Law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord 23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every male who first opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”) 24 and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the Law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.” 25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. 27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the Law, 28 he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said, 29  “Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word; 30  for my eyes have seen your salvation
31  that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, 32  a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.”

Acts 4:12:
“And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

John 14:6:
“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

ANNA
*Luke 2:36-3:*
“And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived with her husband seven years from when she was a virgin, 37 and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. 38 And coming up at that very hour she began to give thanks to God and to speak of him to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.”

1Thessalonians 5:18:
“give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

Psalm 136:1
“Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.”

1 Timothy 2:4-5:
” (God)…who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus”
