The circumcision of Jesus Christ
Now
eight days after Jesus Christ was born the scriptures confirmed it by saying;
“And when eight days were completed for the circumcision of the Child, His name
was called JESUS, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the
womb” (Luke 2:21).
With
regards to the name given to the child eight days after His birth we are told;
“Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is
above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in
heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every
tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the
Father” (Philippians 2:9-11).
On
the eighth day not only did Jesus receive the name which is above every other
name but on that day He also made Gentiles co-heirs of the commonwealth of
Israel together with the Jews and made them one, as it is written; “Therefore
remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh --- who are called Uncircumcision
by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands ---that at that
time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and
strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the
world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near
by the blood of Christ” (Ephesians
2:11-13).
I
therefore beg to ask the question how can these two remarkable days, the date
of Christ’s birth and the date of His circumcision which were intended for
great joy for all people be hidden or unknown to those they intended to serve?
