Luke 2.36-38
Mary and Joseph’s second encounter in the Temple that day involved an elderly woman named Anna. Anna was a widow of many years. She frequented the Temple daily. At the very moment that Simeon took Jesus in his arms and announced his message to Mary, Anna arrived on the scene. She, too, gave praise to God and told the people present that this infant would bring redemption. Mary and Joseph must have been astounded by these encounters, and they must have taken great comfort in knowing that God was doing an unparalleled work through them. Jesus, their son, was the Son of God, the Messiah, the Saviour and Redeemer.
