Keep Looking, Keep Finding
Sunday Rewind is a 5-day Devotional based on the weekly sermon at Resonate Community Church
December 28th Sermon, Day 5
Simeon and Anna's story doesn't end with a single encounter. After recognizing Jesus, they didn't retire from their spiritual journey—they continued in faithful devotion. Anna immediately began sharing the good news with others who were also looking for redemption. Their discovery of Jesus wasn't a finish line; it was a new beginning.
This teaches us that looking for Jesus isn't a one-time event—it's a lifetime posture of faith, hope, and attentiveness. Even after we've encountered Him, we continue to discover new dimensions of who He is and how He works in our lives. Each day brings fresh opportunities to see Him, know Him, and experience His presence. If you're still searching, take heart. Keep looking with an open heart, and you will find Him.
If you've already found Jesus, keep looking for new ways He wants to reveal Himself to you. He's always closer than you think, and the beautiful truth is that while you're looking for Him, He's been looking for you all along. The promise is sure: those who seek Jesus with sincere hearts will always find Him. In Him, you'll discover not just temporary happiness, but lasting salvation, deep peace, and hope that endures forever. So keep looking, keep trusting, and most of all, keep showing up. Your faithful search will be rewarded.
Bible Verse
