GOSPEL READING: LUKE 2:22-35

To present him to the Lord.
———————————–
Anyone who believes in the Bible and has a faith based on the Word of God found in the bible knows well that everything in the universe was created by God (All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be. What came to be). Since everything came from God and since everything belongs to God, it was the belief of the biblical people that everything should go back to God.

This was not only at the end of times but also during their existence, here on earth, everything belongs to God and they should be offered to God. This belief was the basis of the theory of sacrifice o God. They also offered substitutive sacrifices to preserve certain things or let certain things to continue to exist.

படைப்பனைத்தும் இறைவனிடமிருந்து வருகின்றன. இறைவனைச் சென்றடைய வேண்டும். இதுதான் விவிலிய நம்பிக்கை. எனவே அனைத்தும் இறைவனுக்குச் சொந்தமானவை. இறைவனுக்கு அர்ப்பணிக்கப்பட வேண்டியவை.
