Then we were introduced to Elisabeth, more angels, Mary, Joseph, shepherds, Wisemen, King Herod, and finally Simeon and Anna.

The final two characters are old, they are faithful, and they are lingering and looking for the coming messiah. Ultimately we see that that their wait was worth it. Sometimes we must be patient, we must be persistent, and we must trust in the promises of the Lord.

After these two characters, we will move on from the manger, from the baby, and we will see a lad who becomes a man, who becomes a savior.

Simeon and Anna teach us that the best is yet to come!!!

As believers we are not looking for the Lord's birth, but we are looking for his sudden return, we are looking for the rapture of his church. Like Simeon and Anna, we must continue laboring, lingering, and looking, because the best is yet to come!!!
