The Epiphany of the Lord - January 4, 2026
Jesus, the light of the world, draws foreigners from all over the earth to bring gifts and proclaim their reverence. Isaiah foresees the light from Jerusalem attracting people from faraway lands, bringing gifts and praising the LORD. Paul himself travels to distant regions, preaching the message that Jesus came to Jews and Gentiles alike. The magi cam from the east to pay homage and offer treasures to the newborn king. As God's word is proclaimed, may we show our reverence.
