Sermon Introduction –
Over two thousand years ago, wise men traveled from the east to see Jesus after he was born. But who were these men? What do they have to teach us? They tell us about a God who loves everyone!
Introduction to this week’s readings –
The feast of Epiphany (“manifestation”) concludes the Christmas season with a celebration of God’s glory revealed in the person of Jesus Christ. In Isaiah and Ephesians, that glory is proclaimed for all nations and people. Like the light of the star that guided the magi to Jesus, the light of Christ reveals who we are: children of God who are claimed and washed in the waters of baptism. We are sent out to be beacons of the light of Christ, sharing the good news of God’s love to all people.
