Title: What Happened After the Birth of Christ?
Author: Marvin Patterson
Text: Luke 2:22-40
Introduction:
We looked at the shepherds coming to see the baby Jesus on the very night of the birth of Jesus Christ!

Jewish families went through several ceremonies soon after a baby's birth: (1) Circumcision. Every boy was circumcised and named on the eighth day after birth (Leviticus 12:3; Luke 1:59,60). Circumcision symbolized the Jews' separation from Gentiles and their unique relationship with God (see the ...
