Few female prophets are named in the Old Testament. Only one is named in the New. That’s Anna. Gospel writer Luke shares her father’s name, not her husband’s. He also mentions her tribe which places her as one of the four in the New Testament given a tribal listing. The others include Jesus, of the house and lineage of David and the tribe of Judah (Luke 2:4; Matthew 1:1-16), Saul of Benjamin (Philippians 3:5) and Barnabas, a Levite (Acts 4:36).
This means she’s a Big Deal.
APPLICATION: You’re a big deal, too. Whether you pay an online company or not for info, your DNA from an ancestry kit tells me you’re big enough to hear what Anna said of Jesus and small enough to get that message of who he is not just spread but actualized.
