This message invites us to rediscover the wonder and mystery of the Epiphany story by stepping into the sandals of the Magi—those knowledgeable travelers from the East. We often gloss over this familiar account, but imagine the curiosity and anticipation these men must have felt as they followed a star across unknown distances to find a prophesied king. They didn't know Jesus was the Son of God or that He would die for humanity's salvation. They only knew a king had been born, and they were compelled to seek Him out. The star itself defied nature, moving and guiding them to a humble dwelling rather than a palace throne room. This revelation—this epiphany—challenges us to approach Christ with fresh eyes, remembering that our Savior entered the world not with royal fanfare but among common people. The gifts they brought—gold, frankincense, and myrrh—were fit for royalty yet also foreshadowed His death and burial. As we reflect on this story, we're reminded that our faith isn't just a routine we follow but an ongoing journey of discovery. Each week we gather, we have the opportunity to encounter Christ anew, to be amazed by His love, and to recognize that even the stars move at His command. The mystery of the Incarnation should still fill us with awe and draw us deeper into relationship with the King of kings who came to die for us.
