The Lord presented before the Lord in His House

 

In this mystery we have inception on the level of divinity. Jesus, who is God, is presented to God in God's house. Granted, He is presented before the Father and the Holy Ghost, as the three persons are wholly distinct, but they are all one God, so God is being presented to God. This is resemblant of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ where God presents God the sacrifice of God for the salvation of Man. Jesus became man, and as such obey the Mosaic and Levitical laws (as He is under the legal classification of Firstborn, priesthood is a vocation in which He is to take upon). He was presented to the Temple in accordance with the laws. 

In this mystery we read of the prophecy of Simeon (one of the Sorrows of Mary), and it is a clear acknowledgment of His divinity. Previously almost all acknowledgements of His divinity came from Angels, such as the Archangel St. Gabriel who first announces it to Mary, and the Angels at the Nativity. The only non-angelic announcement came from St. Elizabeth during the Visitation when she, and St. John the Baptist, were filled with the Holy Ghost. 

The fruit of this Rosary Mystery is Obedience. The Holy Family was obedient in bringing Jesus to the Temple in accordance with the Mosaic Law and for offering the sacrifices of thanksgiving and purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, again in accordance with the Mosaic Law. At this presentation, it was also made legally clear, that wit St. Joseph as Jesus' foster father, Jesus was accepted into St. Josephs household and became a member of the Davidic lineage. Therefore making Jesus, who is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, a Davidic King, fulfilling messianic prophecy.
