Bible Question: Was Jesus Christ circumsized? I guess that by The Covenant of Circumcision in Genesis 17:9-14 he would have been. But it's difficult for me to understand that God would have to be circumsized. |
Bible Answer: Yes he was. Read Luke chapter 2. While under the old covenant, as God, he would have had to obey His own law. Jesus was also baptized under John's baptism of repentance. What did Jesus have to repent of? In his own words, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Matthew 3:13, 14 "Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. 14And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?” 15But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” |
