Luke 2:22-38

BIG IDEA: God’s love is revealed to those who wait on Him and rejoice in His salvation.

 

OBEDIENT LOVE — SUBMITTING TO GOD’S WAYS (vv. 22-24)

God’s love often advances through quiet obedience, not public recognition.

 

WAITING LOVE — TRUSTING GOD’S PROMISES (vv. 25-28)

Those who wait on God learn to recognize His work when others overlook it.

 

SATISFIED LOVE — REJOICING IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS (vv. 29-32)

True peace comes not from getting everything we want, but from trusting in God’s promises.

 

COSTLY LOVE — EMBRACING BOTH JOY AND PAIN (vv. 33-35)

God’s love comforts us—but it also calls us to costly faithfulness.

 

ENDURING LOVE — WELCOMING AND WITNESSING (vv. 36-38)

Faithful waiting prepares us to welcome Christ—and to share Him with others.
