I think I would like many of the folks who spent their days in the temple courts at Jerusalem during the days of Jesus. We are not given information of the many who must have daily spent hours there. However, there is no doubt that many faithful and righteous among those referred to as “the multitudes” in the Gospel messages were awaiting the arrival of the Messiah. Though disillusioned with the political nature of the leadership in the temple they clung to the sanctification and hope in the center of religious activity in the capital city. We read of two such righteous people; Simeon and Anna, and I think I would like them both.
