A DIVINE APPOINTMENT
Today, I would like to challenge each of you from one of those precious moments, as nearly six-¬week old Jesus was on His way in the arms of His parents to be dedicated in Jerusalem’s Temple.
Joseph and Mary would have undoubtedly been walking up the entrance called the Southern Steps. I love teaching this passage amid a group of Holy Land pilgrims with Bibles open.
It is one of those moments when you can feel the very place the event happened in God’s Word!
Tens of thousands of pilgrims would have gathered around Christ’s parents each day to stream in and out of that astounding structure. The Temple Mount was a 40-acre platform that could easily contain a quarter-million people on feast days.
Herod enlarged Solomon’s platform and surrounded it with one of the greatest colonnades of the ancient world. Among this forest of gleaming white 60-foot stone-carved pillars moved the rivers of worshippers that filled the Temple each day in Jerusalem.
Luke captures the moment when just two of these thousands of worshippers met in a Divine appointment.
THE EVENT GOD DIDN’T WANT US TO MISS
The transcript of their meeting has been preserved through God’s inspiration and is part of God’s record of Christ’s birth.
Please follow along in Luke 2:22-35.
