S5 E25 | Dr. Carmen Imes | Advent Series – Part 3: Anna Knew

The Alabaster Jar

In this conversation, Dr. Lynn Cohick and Christine Calareso Bleecker are joined by Dr. Carmen Imes to discuss the biblical figure Anna, a prophetess who plays a significant yet often overlooked role in the Christmas narrative. They explore Anna's recognition of Jesus as the Messiah, her unique devotion to God, and her significance as a female figure in a male-dominated society. They also highlight the importance of Anna's faithfulness, her role in the redemption of Jerusalem, and the lessons modern believers can learn from her life.
