Taking the Sermon Home


Scripture Readings: Isaiah 60:1-6, Ephesians 3:1-12, and Matthew 2:1-12

In our readings this morning, we anticipate the festival of Epiphany on January 6 and the occasion, according to Matthew’s gospel, when the three wise men come from the East to see the baby Jesus. They are led by the light of a star.

Matthew indicates that Herod is frightened by Jesus’ birth, and the fascination the wise men display. Why
do you think Herod is concerned? In what way does Jesus upset the status quo?

Who, or what, draws you nurture your relationship with God?

What are the gifts that you have, to offer the Lord?
