Sermon Scripture: Matthew 2:1–12

We don’t know if the Magi who visited Christ debated for weeks before packing their treasures, or if they set out the very next morning after seeing the star, driven by a divine sense of urgency. What we do know is this: they saw a great light and they followed it. They left the comfort of familiar rooftops and the safety of predictable stars, and they journeyed a thousand miles toward a light they did not fully understand.

In this season we are invited to Become the Light of Christ, for the sake of a world so often pulled between the celebration of the light and the gravity of deep darkness.
