INTRODUCTION:

The book of Isaiah 52:7-10 talks about a hope for the future which Isaiah spoke about because he believer the word God gave him. It came to pass after many years. We also see in the book of Luke 2:25-38 the lives of devout believers who were waiting to see God’s salvation before their death. It came to pass by the Holy Spirit.

Faith and hope are two of the many virtues that characterised the lives of Simeon and Anna. They demonstrated fait by waiting so many years to see the promised Messiah. they manifested hope by remaining firm, confident and going to the temple daily that they would see their expectation come pass.
