2ND QUARTER: LESSON 2: CHRIST AND THE LAW OF MOSES KEY TEXT: John 5:46. The Gospel accounts of Jesus life and ministry show that Jesus was a faithful Jew fully immersed in Jewish culture from the moment of His birth to the final week of His life in human flesh. SUNDAY: CIRCUMCISION AND DEDICATION Luke 2:21–24, Exodus 13:2, 12 Leviticus 12:1–8. God established His covenant with Abraham, saying that he would be the father of many nations and he commanded him to circumcise himself along with every male member of his household, and he was instructed to ensure that every son born into his household from that day forth be circumcised on the eighth day. This truth gives us a better understanding of the earliest days of Jesus’ life. As pious Jews, Mary and Joseph meticulously fulfilled the obligations of the Mosaic law and ensured that the Son of God bore the marks of the covenant that is when Jesus was eight days old, His parents held a naming and circumcision ceremony in the same manner as an untold number of Hebrew males had experienced in times past. Since Jesus was the first child that opened the womb of Mary.According to Exodus 13, every firstborn among the Israelites (whether animal or human) was to be dedicated to the Lord so Jesus was dedicated. This teaches that Jesus was not against the religion of the Jews, but was against the abuses of the religion.
