Jesus is the Redemption

I am preaching on Luke 2 on Sunday, where Joseph and Mary take Jesus, after his circumcision, to Jerusalem after the period of Mary's purification, bringing the necessary sacrifices for her atonement. Yet in the midst of these rituals, no mention is made of Jesus being redeemed. Firstborn sons were redeemed from God for five shekels, this practice made possible by the selection of the Levites for the priesthood. Five shekels were given at the temple: the priests were supported; the son was redeemed. Yet no mention of Jesus' redemption is made. No shekels are paid. So, what happens? Jesus is presented, is given, to the Lord and the Lord never gives him back. Jesus stays in his father's house when he is twelve. Jesus makes his way back to his Father's house as an adult to judge it. Jesus prays for his Father to change his plan, but submits to this plan, nonetheless. The Father never gives the Son back. Jesus' life was not his own. He was not redeemed by a price. He is the redemption for the Father has welcomed the Son forever home and is never giving him--or those in him--back.
