The Presentation

 The Presentation 

On the night of the Exodus,

Every firstborn was given to the Lord;

As the angel of death came and every firstborn male from every animal to every family was taken unless the blood of the lamb was poured over the doorposts of their homes. 

Ever since then,

Every first born male was “presented” to the Lord. 

As a reminder of the Freedom that they received that night. 

On this day, we present ourselves to the Lord;

As an offering;

Just as Jesus presented Himself to His Father in the Temple

And on the cross. 

And we say, “Here I am Lord”

I come to do your Will.
