Section 6
naming of the Lord Jesus: "And when eight days were fulfilled to circumcise Him, His name was called Jesus, the name called by the angel before He was conceived in the womb." According to the law, every male child was to be circumcised on the eighth day and named on that day. The Lord Jesus was circumcised and named on the eighth day.
PRESENTED AND ADORED
In 2:22-39 we have an account of the Man- Savior being presented and adored. As a Child, on the one hand, He was presented, offered, to God; on the other hand, simultaneously He was adored, praised, and worshipped by man.
Concerning the presenting of the Man-Savior, 2:22-24 says, "And when the days were fulfilled for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought Him up to Jerusalem to pre sent Him to the Lord, even as it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord, and to give a sac rifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves or two young doves." That the Man-Savior might be a proper Israelite as a proper Man before God and men, whatever was required in the law was fully fulfilled in verses 21 through 24.
