Listen "Behold Your King, Day 19: Mourning to Praise"
Episode Synopsis
Today’s episode brings us into the temple courts of Jerusalem, where two elderly saints—Simeon and Anna—finally behold the long-awaited Messiah. Drawing from Isaiah 61 and Luke 2:21–38, this reading explores how Jesus’ arrival marks the beginning of the year of the Lord’s favour: liberty for the captives, comfort for mourners, and joy for the brokenhearted. Anna, who carried decades of sorrow after losing her husband, bursts into thanksgiving when she sees the child Jesus. Her mourning is exchanged for a garment of praise, a transformation that mirrors what Christ works in all who come to Him. Because of King Jesus, sorrow gives way to rejoicing, and weary hearts are renewed in hope.
