Gifts of the Nativity: The Holy Spirit


Where did Joseph and Mary take Jesus? Why?

Who in these verses had the Holy Spirit on him?

Where did the Spirit lead him this day?

What did the Holy Spirit reveal to him?

Simeon, another individual unseen in most Nativity scenes. The Holy Spirit was upon Simeon and led him to the temple this day to fulfill a promise: He would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.

The Holy Spirit led and revealed. When Simeon praised God at the revelation and fulfillment of the promise, Mary and Joseph marveled and received a blessing, too.

As a result of Jesus’s crucifixion, death, and resurrection, we Believers have the Holy Spirit in us, not on us. We can nurture His presence in our lives (2Timothy 1:6-7) or we can quench it (1Thessalonians 5:19), depending on how we respond to His leading and revealing.

What has the gift of the Holy Spirit revealed in your life?

Has He led you to be a blessing to others by His power?
