Simeon's Song: Waiting On God (4 of 4)
Series: Christmas Playlist

Luke 2:25-35
Introduction/Attention
This morning, we conclude our series entitled Christmas Playlist. There are four songs in the New Testament associated with the birth of Christ. There is Mary's Song in Luke 1:46-55, Zechariah's Song in Luke 1:67-69, The Angel's Song, in Luke 2:13-14, and Simeon's Song in Luke 2:28-35. Today, we come to Luke 2:25-35 as we look at Simeon's Song. Simeon's song teaches us about Waiting On God.
In this text, we come to the record of when Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the temple ''to carry out the custom of the law.'' (27) In bringing Jesus to the temple, they encountered many important and significant people. One of those people was a godly man named Simeon. We see his story recorded here in this passage. And how Simeon responded to the arrival of Jesus shows us how to properly respond to Christmas. READ TEXT

The Little Drummer Boy never really made sense to me. I get that the boy can drum and pa-rum-pa-pum-pum but I don't see any drummers near the manger. But there are some stranger, and honestly more disturbing, songs than that. The Twelve Days of Christmas is probably the most annoying song to me. It just repeats over and over again. And for some reason, if you add it all up, there are 184 birds that ''my true love gave to me.'' That's just weird! What would you do with all those birds? Then, there are some creepy songs. Like, Santa Baby or Baby, It's Cold Outside. Have you listened to the lyrics of those songs? Better yet, DON'T listen to the lyrics of those songs. There's, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus. Good luck ex ...
