Patience & The Shadow of the Cross Luke 2:25-35 …. 30 I have seen your salvation, which you have prepared for all people. 32 He is a light to reveal God to the nations, and he is the glory of your people Israel!”33 Jesus’ parents were amazed at what was being said about him. 34 Then Simeon blessed them, and he said to Mary, the baby’s mother, “This child is destined to cause many in Israel to fall, but he will be a joy to many others. He has been sent as a sign from God, but many will oppose him. 35 As a result, the deepest thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your very soul.”_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Matthew 26:39–42; John 12:27; Ephesians 4:2; 1 Peter 2:20-23 Titus 2:2; James 5:7-8 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Galatians 6:9-10 So let’s not get tired of doing what is good.
