Jesus Under the Law
Commentators emphasize that Jesus, Mary, and Joseph meticulously followed the Mosaic Law. Though Jesus was sinless and didn't need purification, his submission was a 'pledge of his future perfect obedience' (Henry). As Spurgeon notes, by fulfilling the law perfectly for us, Christ redeems us from its demands, placing believers 'not under the law, but under grace.'
