Previous Episode: Forgive us our debts

In this portion of Luke's gospel, we meet Simeon who was waiting for Jesus, who is the -consolation of Israel-. In this sermon we are exhorted to see Christ as the only One who can bring consolation to our souls - to deal with the soul's greatest need - forgiveness from sin. Even in death, Christ brings consolation, as Simeon sees his imminent death as a mere -departure- in which he will gain peace. Preached Sabbath AM on 01-18-21 from Luke 2-25-35.--The consolation of God--I. Is found in the Word.-II. Is found in Christ.-III. Is found in death.
