According to God's Law to Moses, 40 days after giving birth to a son, a mother is required to present a purification offering at the temple. That is why Mary bought Jesus to the temple in Jerusalem at 40 days old.

The whole purpose of Jesus Christ's coming to earth is written in his life stories and his ministry in the four Gospels, if you wish to read it. But briefly, he was and is, the "Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" as John the Baptist said, and that is why he came as a child - to grow to man hood and to die on the cross for our sins and to rise again for our hope
