Text: Luke 2:22-40: On February 2, we remember the purification of Mary and the presentation of Jesus as the temple.  According to the law of Moses, after birth, the woman would go through a time of purification and then bring sacrifices for atonement.  Also, according to the law, the firstborn was given, dedicated, to God.  As we see Mary and Joseph following God’s law, they become the example for our lives, that even though they had God among them, in the person of Jesus Christ, they didn’t just worship God by staying home and worshipping their Son. They joined with God’s people, one of those being Simeon who was promised that he would not die until he saw the face of salvation, the Lord’s Christ.  As we gather in worship, we see salvation before us, as God presents it to us.
