Luke 2:27 ~ Led by the Spirit

I have a wonderful feeling for the picture, our Step-grandfather did not have a beard, but he had white hair and baptized us. I was 8 years old when my brother was baptized as a baby.

Luke 2:27

Led by the Spirit, he went into the temple area. Meanwhile, Jesus' parents brought the child to the temple so that they could do what was customary under the Law.



We study the Bible a lot of times in huge swathes. Even the sentences, paragraphs, events and Chapters are arranged in God's order of thought.


John 21 -is telling us about the life of Jesus.

25 Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.

The appearance of Simeon is not coincidental. Simeon fully understands he is called of the Spirit to attend to God's Son, the Messiah. This is a Scriptural insight to the Life of Jesus.


John 5
God His own Father, making Himself equal with God. 19So Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing by Himself, unless He sees the Father doing it. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does. 20The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does."

The Holy Spirit being God is going to function regardless of mankind. And yet, this is God's Son and His chosen parents work in tandem. Jesus is brought to the Temple to please God. Simeon is arriving to please God. And the God's Story is made. His Story.


Matthew 4:4
Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"

Numbers 24

19 God is not man, that he should lie,
or a son of man, that he should change his mind.
Has he said, and will he not do it?
Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?
20 Behold, I received a command to bless:
he has blessed, and I cannot revoke it.

When we say The Law of God we usually refer to the 10 commandments. Jesus says the summation is Love.





Abba, Father,

We ask Jesus is with us just as the Holy Spirit was with Simeon. Mary and Joseph were surely not at peace and wanted to do all that was pleasing to God.

Jesus with them - made their lives. We pray this for our Loved Ones.

We place all of our cares, for ourselves, for my son's new State and Law School, health, national concerns, employment and this time together in Your Hands.

And in all states of fullness, need, joy, courage, concern, rest this with Father God.

Your Good Plans are our Hope and Future. Jesus bless us in the next few months to adapt well to Your Plans.

Jesus Risen Lord God. Amen.
