Exo 13:2, Luk5:8-10, Heb4:16, 1Joh4:17.
The dedication of the baby Jesus takes us back to the ancient days where in Exodus all first born were made to be presented unto God for a holy offering. Right from the beginning Jesus was declared holy, fulfilling the prophetic consecration.
"I'm unclean depart from me" This was the response anytime there was a divine encounter with the people of old. But now we are made holy through faith in Christ, thereby boosting our confidence to draw close to God just as he wishes.
It is written as he is so are we. Now if Christ is holy and in him we live and also have our being then we share in his holiness. So as he is holy so are we in this world. By this knowledge, we set ourselves up to offer them as a living sacrifice unto God. Hallelujah!
