Luke 2: 21-24
PARENTS' COMMITMENT TO THE LAW
"Now when the days of her purification according to the laws of Moses were completed, they brought him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord." Luke 2: 22, NKJV
Jesus' parents observed all the biblical injunctions required for purification of Hebrew women after birth and presentation of newborn babies to the temple even with Christ. They were not overwhelmed by pride of the heavenly glory that surrounded them and their baby to disregard the laws.
Parents today must learn lessons from Jesus' parents by showing traits of sincerity and steadfastness to God's purpose of parenting.
With the sad state of moral decadence and worldliness in our society today, parents must re-commit themselves to scriptural laws by:
(i) Being exemplary in life and character (Matthew 5:16).
(ii) Teaching their children the wholistic injunctions of God (Deuteronomy 6:6-9).
(iii) Sacrificing their time and resources in training their children (Proverbs 22:6).
(iv) Putting premium in moulding children into godly standard for a better society (Malachi 2:15).
