“who shall offer it before the LORD, and make an atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that hath born a male or a female. And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.”
Leviticus 12:7-8 KJV
The law exalted manhood over womanhood, till Christ came. Life in Christ has abolished this difference between the male baby and the female baby. In Christ even this curse has been broken. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For we are all one in Christ Jesus. In Christ, no mother is considered ceremonially unclean, the Blood of Jesus made her clean. Under the law, women couldn’t come into the sanctuary of God’s Presence for about two months but in Christ, both men and women carry the same Presence of God. We celebrate the arrival of both male and female babies as a heritage and a reward from God. In Christ women have every right to claim the blessings of motherhood, childbearing and all the family blessings. We are one in Christ! Amen!
