Scripture: Luke 2:22–40

1. How can a Christian who is afraid of death find victory over that fear? Is it unrealistic to expect a believer to have no fear of death?
2. How can we, like Simeon and Anna, live in anticipation of God’s work in the world, specifically the return of Christ and the fulfillment of all His promises?
3. How should Simeon’s prophecy challenge or encourage us in our understanding of the cost of following Christ?
