“And Joseph and his mother marveled at those things which were spoken of him” (Luke 2:33).
The scene of Simeon in the temple holding Jesus in his arms is a precious one. Simeon not only pronounced blessings but he gave some prophecy as well. Simeon’s prophecy will be looked at in a later devotion. Mary and Joseph had to have beamed with pride at the things that were said of their firstborn son. Some things they may not have understood at the time. Other comments just made them marvel. Remember when you brought your first child to church. Oh, the joy and pride you felt. It showed in your face. Mary and Joseph reacted just like we did. The only difference was their child was also going to become their Savior.
