Brad Jones leads us further into the Christmas season by pointing to the anticipation of Simeon, who longed to see the King who was to come. By looking to the promises of God and the examples in Scripture, we can wait on God in our own lives with patience, anticipation, and godliness.
- Look for the king in everything.
- Do what we can to follow him.
