Christmas In Focus: Epiphany
"When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. "
~ Matthew 2:10
Magi.
Three Kings.
Wise men.
Whatever you call them,
(and all three of those titles have some merit)
there is much to learn from their example.
When they saw the star that marked the birth of Jesus-
They were overjoyed.
They worshiped.
They gave.
We would be wise to follow in their steps.
And that's what we do in this celebration called "Epiphany."
This Sunday we kick-off our new series,
“Christmas In Focus”
Of course it’s about keeping Christ the focus.
It is far too easy to be swept up into the chaos of Christmas.
But it’s more.
For generations the promise of a savior was coming into focus-
He would be a prophet like Moses, bringing the word of God to the people;
a priest like the descendants of Aaron, bringing sacrifices to God;
and a king like David, ruling with justice and righteousness.
Like none before he would be the Prophet, the Priest and the King-
The promised Messiah.
The Christ.
