How incredible, exciting, and reaffirming this time at the Temple in Jerusalem must of been for Joesph and Mary. They watched as Simeon held their first born son and praised God reaffirming what they had already heard on at least 2 other occasions.

Day 14: Blessed in Absorbing and Processing the Truth

They heard it first from angels of the Lord before Jesus was born and then the visiting shepherds repeated it to them while Jesus laid in the manger.

Jesus is the Messiah for Israel and the Savior for all -everyone, all nations, all people!

They have now heard the Good News about their son from 3 separate and independent sources. How incredible, how awesome this must of been for them. What was going through their minds? As we see in verse 33 they are marveling at this news ...it was sinking in deep.

I am blessed this morning as I read about this young couple as they absorb and process the truth about their son. Thank you Lord for helping me absorb and process this truth about the man Jesus.

Other days of my Journey to Bethlehem.
