Luke is writing in a patriarchal society, which is reflected in the rituals Jesus’ family perform at the Temple. But Luke balances his gospel to emphasise that the Good News about Jesus is for everyone – men and women, old and young – no one is excluded.
Listen to the sermon preached by the Revd Bryce Amner on Sunday 31 December 2017.
The scripture readings are Luke 2:12–40, plus Exodus 13 and Leviticus 12.
