What does the Bible say about Jesus' circumcision in Luke 2?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' circumcision signifies his obedience to the law and identification with sinners.

In Luke 2, Jesus is circumcised on the eighth day as prescribed by the law, signifying his complete obedience to the righteousness required by the law of Moses. This act is not merely a ritual, but an essential declaration that the sinless Son of God willingly identifies with sinners, demonstrating his fullness in fulfilling the law on our behalf. By submitting himself to these ordinances, Jesus shows that he comes not as a figure above the law, but as a humble servant who embodies the very purpose of the law—salvation for his people.
