LESSONS FROM THE PRESENTATION OF JESUS CHRIST

Sunday Reflections with Fr. Evaristus Eghiemeiyo Abu - Feast of the Presentation of Jesus Christ
Readings: Malachi 3:1-4, Ps. 24:7-10, Hebrews 2:14-18, Luke 2:22-40
“As it is written in the law of the Lord, ‘Every firstborn male shall be designated as holy to the Lord’, and they offered a sacrifice according to what is stated in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.” (Luke 2:23-24)
In the last three Sundays, we celebrated the first three mysteries of light: the baptism of Jesus, self-proclamation at the wedding feast at Cana, and the proclamation of the kingdom of God. Today, we celebrate the fourth joyful mystery: the Presentation of our Lord Jesus Christ in the temple.
Even though the Presentation of Jesus is a joyful mystery, it can be considered a moment of epiphany (enlightenment), especially for Simon and Anna, who immediately recognised Jesus as God. Let us now consider some lessons contained in the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple:
1. God Has Come Into His Temple.
2. Be humble; No one is above the law.
3. God Still Speaks Today
4. Be Courageous to Speak the Truth
5. Proper Upbringing of Children Begins with presenting them to God.
Let us pray: Almighty, ever-living God, we present ourselves to you today, free us from all inclinations to evil. We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen.
