Podcast #303: “Arrive” by Anna Miriam Brown

Play episode

I’m Michelle Nezat and I hope to inspire you to discover and meditate on God’s Word through the songs you’re listening to on the radio.

We celebrate the arrival of Jesus Christ as a baby at Christmas. However, He’s slated to arrive again. I wonder if there is anything we can learn from those who eagerly expected Christ’s arrival the first time? Anna Miriam Brown’s song “Arrive” inspired me to explore this question and more.

I can’t wait to introduce you to Simeon in the pages of Luke’s account.

On this week’s episode I discuss:

  • Making a list of the qualities displayed in Simeon
    • righteous
    • devout
    • eagerly waiting for the Messiah to come and rescue Israel
    • the Holy Spirit was upon him
    • the Holy Spirit revealed things to him
    • he followed the leading of the Holy Spirit

This Week’s Challenge

Read Matthew 1 and 2 and Luke 1 and 2 again this week. Keep your eye out for the details of the arrival. Slow down and consider Simeon who was forever recorded in history for us to know. The details of who he was were important enough for God to ensure they were included in Scripture, and we can learn so much from him as we eagerly await the arrival of Christ the second time.
