Luke 2:36-38 Widows (and Christians) Wanted, Not Dead But Alive

Timothy the young evangelist was taught by the very best. The Apostle Paul had never met Jesus in His human lifetime, but he did meet the resurrected Lord. And Paul was an example of a man who patterned everything against the backdrop of the story of Jesus, including the story we’ll study today in the book of Luke. Paul wrote about how widows who lived for pleasure were “dead” even while they lived (1 Timothy 5:6), but he also wrote about “live” widows as well. They were widows who put “her hope in God and continues night and day to pray and to ask God for help.” (1 Timothy 5:5).

 We’re going to read about one such widow today, Anna the Prophetess.

 “Father, help us understand your word, and to see its relevance to us today and to how we live your life as a witness to the world.

 
In Christ’s name, Amen.”
