<p>2:39 <i>And when they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city Nazareth</i>- Mary &ldquo;performed fulfilled all things according to the law&rdquo; in her dedication of Jesus. In doing this, she anticipated the spirit of the cross and whole ministry of Jesus, where He performed s.w. fulfilled all things of the law- Lk. 18:31; Jn. 19:28; 30; Acts 13:29. These passages each use the same three words for all things, law, and fulfilled. She brought the Lord up in the way of the cross; and He continued in that path.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>
