In Luke’s Gospel, Joseph and Mary go the Temple in Jerusalem for Mary’s purification and to present the infant Jesus to the LORD. Although Jesus is Mary’s firstborn son, he is not redeemed like other firstborn sons in Israel. This is because he redeems us– Jesus “buys us back” from sin and death, so that we belong to him. Remember that Jesus redeemed you with his own blood and presents you to God for joyful service.
