The Prize

As we journey through Advent, we are reminded that the season is about more than lights, gifts, and traditions—it's about the ultimate gift of Jesus Christ. This week, we turn to Luke 2:22-34 and meet Simeon, a man whose life was marked by waiting and hope. Guided by the Spirit, Simeon encounters the Christ child and declares that his longings are finally fulfilled. Simeon’s response reveals a profound truth: Jesus is not just a gift, but the greatest prize our hearts could ever seek.

Through this message, we will explore what it means to see Jesus as the fulfillment of God’s promises, the satisfaction of our deepest desires, and the treasure that surpasses all others. As Simeon held Jesus in his arms and blessed God, we too are invited to embrace Christ as our ultimate reward this Advent season.
