The four Gospels provide very little information about the childhood of Jesus, but they do relate some significant events that followed His birth. While we might wish for more information about the years leading up to Jesus’ public ministry, we can rest assured that God has given us in His inspired Word everything we need to know to live like His Son.
Luke 2.21
As we saw with John the Baptist, it was customary for Jewish
parents to circumcise their sons on the eighth day after their birth. Joseph and
Mary, in full compliance with the commands of God, had Jesus circumcised. On that
day they officially named Him Jesus in obedience to their angelic messenger. Jesus
means Saviour, and indeed Jesus would be our Saviour and our Lord.
