Readings: Isaiah 60: 1-6; Ephesians 3: 2-3a, 5-6; Matthew 2: 1-12
Selected Passage: “When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, * behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, "Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star * at its rising and have come to do him homage." When King Herod heard this, he was greatly troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.” (Matthew 2: 1-2)
Meditation: The manifestation of the Saviour evoked two responses. The first was the Magi’s – the search for the Lord and do him homage. The second was that of Herod – the Lord’s presence was a threat and Herod was greatly troubled. And he also searched for the child in order to destroy him. Which of the two is our response to the manifestation of the Lord…?
