Nothing can replace reading the Scriptures for yourself, so I encourage you to read these stories in your own time, in whatever translation you like. Here are a few things that I find really helpful to bring Scriptures reading alive:
QUESTIONS:
* What must it have been like for Simeon to experience the moment he had been long promised?
* Have you had an experience when God seemed to place all the pieces together perfectly and so you were in the right place at the right time? Describe it.
* What does it look like for you to listen to and obey God’s leading? How often do you feel you are doing this now? What sort of impact does it have on your life when you do?

QUESTIONS:
* What was the cost that Simeon prophesied to Mary? To what extent do you think she understood the meaning of this prophecy?
* The scripture seems to indicate this prophecy was a blessing (“Simeon blessed them and prophesied over Mary, saying…”) While his words spoke of pain and heartache, what about this may have been a blessing for Mary?
