Isaiah 60:1-6; Matthew 2:1-12
“Siblings in Christ, the light that illuminated the path to the manager and sowed fear in the violent heart of Herod is in you and me, and it is also everywhere around us. Body of Christ, it is not up in the sky waiting to be discovered. It burns already, and it shines out of us. . . it shines out when we step out in faith into the unknown, believing in the hope of the manger. . .”
