work Very interesting ways. We are going to have a babysitter. So you might think through that as we go through.

All this together. So let's let's go to Luke Chapter 2.

dedicate your life

Target anyway as we stand up when you come to know Jesus Christ as your lord and savior

Well, there are other things.

dedication a lie to the Living God and Mary and Joseph come to Jerusalem to dedicate their child as of the Living God.

When it was time to circumcise your child, he was named Jesus the name that the angel had given him before he was conceived and when the time came for the purification rites required by the law of Moses Joseph and Mary cooking to Jerusalem to presenting to the Lord as it is written in the law of the Lord. Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with it it what is said in the law of the Lord prepare of job.

And what what Joseph and Mary are doing? Is dedicating their child for the lord? Well, that's a dedication.

God

I'm going to be there for you.

Go and walk with you. Jesus was already in this child from before the beginning of time, but this is a Did they have the Living God? Psalm 31:5 says into your hands I commit my spirit Deliver Me Lord my faithful dog just be our power and it's not what I can do. It's what I can do by John power.

so they came forward they chose the name Jesus and this is a connection between the gospel of Matthew in the Gospel of Luke because we don't have it until this point. But if we go back to Matthew chapter one, we see this dedication. The angel has come to Joseph in a dream that he's telling Joseph that he needs to take Mary to be his wife and he says these words that's 121 and you are to give him the name Jesus because he will save his people from

involved in helping them to know you're not only dedicated stuff. And so they do that the Old Testament circumcision as an 8th day of blessed with a child is so Abraham did it and receive

Berry's cousin Elizabeth was pregnant with John the Baptist.

On the 8th day.

Dedicated Luke chapter 1 verses 58 59 and 60 on the 8th day. They came circumcise a child and they were going to name him after his father Zachariah, but his mother spoke up and said no.

I told that Zachariah, but that was to see the name of this time. I'm so used to being your and it's offering is important because it is what they're living in obedience to God.

Sometimes we don't see it, but we'll see that blessing it first here on the ground, but there is an offering to be made Exodus 13 2 says concentrate to me every firstborn. Then Jesus is the firstborn. They open the family the firstborn offspring of every womb among the Israelites belongs to me whether uman are animals. Call Pelon. And then later on in Leviticus. It is written a little league is 12/8, but if she cannot afford the lamb.

That was the main idea of it mean offering she used to bring to job or two young pigeons. Do you see that? Mary and Joseph were not very wealthy people. They had to bring the Lesser offering because they could not afford.

One for the burnt offering and the other 20% off of this way. The priests will make it home in time for her and she will be clean a popcorn premiere. So you see that they are stepping up and becoming obedient the Living God by bringing Jesus.

given the lure Continuing on we find a revelation. There's a revelation that is opened up to the Joseph and Mary and this is a this is a gift from the Lord is part of the blessing that they are receiving and it says starting a verse 25 through 25 to 9. Now. There was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon. He was righteous and the valve. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel in the Holy Spirit was on it isn't been revealed by the holy spirit that he would not die before he had seen. fruit of the spirit Sports it when the parents when the parents brought the Child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the law required simeon's took him in his arms and praise God Sovereign Lord as you have promised. You may now just miss your servant in feet.

and all of a sudden he was gone.

It is why it is working. I replace the memory was with Zechariah and Elizabeth when she saw them as righteous will read about that. He was with Mary and Joseph and the guiding them is active in the life is now with them as he walked into the court. The spirit of Truth. Jesus talks about that in the Last Supper. He mentioned the life of man time throughout the centuries why because it started

continue on will read Luke 3338

for my eyes have seen yourself a ship. This is Jimmy and speaking my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared at the sight of all Nations a life for the Revelation to the Gentiles and the glory of your People Israel. Child father and mother Marvel is what was said about it and then send me and blast them and said Mary is mother. This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of the NBA. That will be spoken again. So that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed in a store.

There was also a prophet to Anna the daughter of 10 of his driver bash. He was very old. Lived in her husband for 7 to Terry and then was a widow until he was 84. She never left the temple but worship night and day fasting and praying coming up with them at that. Very moment. She gave thanks to God and spoke about the child you all who were looking forward to The Majestic?

That did not know they did not know the child before he entered into the the Temple mount.

Zakaria made this statement as the Holy Spirit was meeting him when Mary came to visit. He says praise be to the loop 16089 the god of Israel because he has come to his people and redeem them. He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of the servant.

He knew Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is risen salvation growth prediction. It was me asking.

He was proclaimed to be the savior of the world. Isaiah 52:10 planes this is that the Lord will like they're his holy arm in the side of the nation. revealing Jesus Christ and all the ends of the Earth will see the salvation of the you know, it's about the work is going out.

Is work going on?

all of that happened Do God's Eternal Redemption and his return from heaven? Notice, he also says there will be a rising and falling in the land of Israel that Jesus Christ came to really make a division. Because if he came to give them a choice. You can either choose to receive me or reject. And so many in Israel rejected him back. They rejected him. So terribly that they crucified him.

But they were also many who received it as Lord and savior.

And if done so throughout the centuries. Isaiah 8:14 says he will be a holy place for both Israel and Judah he will be a stone that causes people to stumble in a rock that makes them fall in for the people of Jerusalem people be a trap.

Trapping snares wasn't all to be wondering glory and yet these passages were ignored by the people of Israel because they were looking for the coming King to establish his throne right now while he wasn't coming King but his throne would be established when his body of believers.

and then he looked at Mary and he says it will be a piercing.

Do we see the life of Mary and she is trusted and walked with Jesus through his ministries and follow him along the way through the rising of struggles and the falling of the things but watch this feeling and then she sees you taken and nailed to that cross. Can you imagine how that hasn't been through a heart? John 10 1925 says near the cross Jesus good is mother is mother Sister Mary the wife of clopas and Mary Magdalene.

Watch Jesus Christ the savior of the world.

Stop it.

praise God Stay on Cross. What is risen again? We have life eternal. But this was the beginning. This was a time of dedication. We're Mary and Joseph dedicated their child with themselves to see that he walked with the Living God and they follows God's commands scripture and they help. guide him In what wisdom they could give it?

They also did that for his brothers and sisters. But we know that.
