6 A Baby Unlike Any Other

Luke 2:21-40, TBC Book Two, Chapter 6
Eight days after Mary’s baby was born, Joseph circumcised him and announced what his name would be. That decision was made long before he was born, even before he was conceived in Mary’s womb. The angel who appeared to Mary told her what his name would be, and the angel who spoke to Joseph said the same thing: His name would be “Jesus,” for he would save his people from their sins. So the Son of God was named by the Lord himself.

About four weeks after the baby was circumcised, Mary and Joseph left Bethlehem, and they traveled five miles north to Jerusalem. . . .

Before the couple arrived, a man named Simeon walked into the temple. Simeon was known as a righteous man, and he devoted himself to worshiping the Lord. The Holy Spirit would often come upon him. And today, the Holy Spirit had prompted him to enter the temple. . . .
