(The Law concerning the first born.)
Consecration of the Firstborn 3 Then Moses said to the
people, "Commemorate this day, the day you came out of Egypt, out of the
land of slavery, because the LORD brought you out of it with a mighty hand.
Eat nothing containing yeast. 11 "After the LORD brings
you into the land of the Canaanites and gives it to you, as he promised on
oath to you and your forefathers, 12
you are to give over to the LORD the first offspring of every womb. All the
firstborn males of your livestock belong to the LORD. 13
Redeem with a lamb every firstborn donkey, but if you do not redeem it, break
its neck. Redeem every firstborn among your sons.
14 "In days to
come, when your son asks you, 'What does this mean?' say to him, 'With a
mighty hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 15
When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the LORD killed every firstborn
in Egypt, both man and animal. This is why I sacrifice to the LORD the first
male offspring of every womb and redeem each of my firstborn sons.' Epistle: Colossians 3:12-17 ( NIV) (Living the Christmas faith.)
22Therefore, as God's
chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion,
kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13Bear
with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one
another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14And
over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect
unity.
15Let the peace of
Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to
peace. And be thankful. 16Let
the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another
with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with
gratitude in your hearts to God. 17And
whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord
Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
(Righteous Simeon prophesies.)
22When the time of their
purification according to the Law of Moses had been completed, Joseph and Mary
took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord 23(as
it is written in the Law of the Lord, "Every firstborn male is to be
consecrated to the Lord"[a]),
24and to offer a sacrifice in
keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: "a pair of doves or two
young pigeons."[b]
25Now there was a man
in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for
the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26It
had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he
had seen the Lord's Christ. 27Moved
by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the
child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, 28Simeon
took him in his arms and praised God, saying: 33The child's father
and mother marveled at what was said about him. 34Then
Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: "This child is destined
to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will
be spoken against, 35so that the
thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own
soul too."
36There was also a
prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very
old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, 37and
then was a widow until she was eighty-four.[d]
She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. 38Coming
up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the
child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.
39When Joseph and Mary
had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee
to their own town of Nazareth. 40And
the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of
God was upon him. Children's Message: Hymn of the Day: "O Little Town of Bethlehem" - Congregation & Michella Novy - Organist Message "Maybe
