The Glory of the Lord Returns to the Temple in the Boy Jesus
Now Jesus, who is the glory of the Lord in the flesh, enters the temple to show that He Himself is the everlasting temple and dwelling place of God. He has come there to be among the Father’s things (Luke 2:41–52). Our young Lord, true man, subject to Mary and Joseph, reveals Himself also to be true God — He is the Everlasting Son of the Everlasting Father. Jesus does this at the time of the Passover. For He came to be the sacrificial Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Even as He was found by His parents after three days, so He would later rise from the dead on the third day that the favor of God might rest also upon us. It is by these mercies of God that we present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God through Christ (Rom. 12:1–6a).
