Baby Dedication (3)

Jesus Loves Children

of all ages.

Jeremiah 1:5 (ESV)

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,

and before you were born I consecrated you...”

Every Child

God loves

God calls

has a purpose

even in utero

In the OT

every first-born male

is dedicated.

Jesus experienced this.

Luke 2:22 ESV

And when the time came for their purification according to the Law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord

They would

Offer Sacrifice

Priest would hold.

Pray a blessing.

In our context

no spiritual birthright.

no first-born privilege.

All are priests.

all children

male or female.

Consecrated

For service to God.

A Promise

This is a public promise.

You will raise Eden

For God.

Our intent:

Proverbs 22:6 ESV

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
