Everyone wants to be home for Christmas. Whether are home this Christmas or not, God offers us an even better definition of “home,” and he offers it to us for more than one day. He is always with us so that we never have to be without him. This week we remember a very early but important act in the life of Jesus. On his eighth day, he was circumcised as the law required. By submitting himself to God’s law, he already began his work as our Savior, and by shedding his blood he foreshadowed the payment he would make on the cross for our sins. At just eight days old, he proved himself worthy of the name he was given: Jesus, which means, “The Lord saves.”
