This episode was recorded on December 19th, 2023... in the shadow of Christmas which was just 6 days away.
It's so easy to get lost in the helter-skelter and business that comes along with this time of the year - buying Christmas gifts, parties, get togethers, traveling, family obligations, etc.
Rush... rush... rush... busy... busy... busy!
Sigh!
In this episode Tony encourages us to remember the "true reason for the season", and shares 3 important observations from Luke 2, which is the story about the birth of Jesus.
It's interesting to note the progresson of 3 intersting vignetes that appear one after the other in this passage.
The first one concerns something that was proclaimed by the angel who appeared to the sheperds that night.
The second one concerns something that was proclaimed by the old man, Simeon, who had a special connection to the Holy Spirit.
The third one concerns something that was proclaimed by the old woman, Anna, who had been a widow for 84 years, and was over 100 years old.

A very significant "theme" emerges around these unusal events that occurred when this special litte boy was born in the manger in Bethlehem, and the proclamation of this "theme" reveals the very reason of his birth.
SAVIOR!
