The Epiphany of the Lord

Dear Friends,

We begin the Epiphany season learning about the Magi’s

declaration of Jesus as a divine person and a King. The story teaches us that Jesus is Our King and we should put Him first in our life. The Magi could collude with King Herod, but for them Jesus Christ is greater and more powerful than Herod.

They endured a long journey from Persia to Bethlehem to

meet Jesus, the King. They risked their lives for the sake of

Jesus. They rejoiced when they met him. Matthew tells us

that they paid Jesus homage, not Herod.

With that, the Magi gave The Child Jesus three gifts that would help Mary and Joseph for their long journey from Bethlehem to Egypt. So as we enter into this new year, let us reflect about the different gifts that God has given us to help us on our journeys towards Eternal Kingdom.

LORD, help me accept these gifts and be gift onto others
