Mr. Malcolm Blanche read Luke 2 vs.21-35, 12 vs.13-21 and 23 vs.39-43.
Simeon - Ready for Heaven.
Farmer - This Night thy Soul shall be Required of Thee.
Thief - Remember Me.
Simeon had peace when he saw the Lord.
He made peace through the blood of His cross.
He died the sinners death although not a sinner there was no sin in Him.
To be with Christ is very far better.
The farmer thought his goods were his, and that he had a long time but he left any thought of God out.
Do we thank God for what we have but most of all do we thank God for His Son who died for us.
The thief realised that he deserved to be hanging there, A display of God's mercy.
The thief realised that Jesus didn't deserve to be there as He had done nothing amiss.
The thief said remember me in your kingdom - Jesus said today you will be with me in Paradise, more than the thief could ever have expected.
It is finished it is all on the basis of His death. Acknowledge your sin, Acknowledge His Holiness and put your faith in Him and His finished work at Calvary.
