Steps of Faith~ Epiphany 1st Sunday in January

Is. 60:1-6
Ps. 72:1-7, 10-14
Eph. 3:1-12
Mat. 2:1-12

Is. 60:1-6:Prophecy that Kings come to see Jesus radiance: Camels will bring gifts of gold and frankincense.

Ps. 72:1-7, 10-14: A prophecy of Jesus and that the kings would bring gifts to Jesus.

Eph. 3:1-12: Paul brought to light the mystery of God in Christ Jesus.

Mat. 2:1-12: Wise men  came from the East to bring gifts of gold and frankincense following the light of a star to look upon Jesus who is the light of the world. 

  The Old Testament prophesied that kings on camels would bring gift of gold and frankincense to Jesus, and see his light. In the New Testament, we see the fulfillment of those prophecies. Paul said that he was to bring to light the mystery of Christ Jesus to those who had not hear yet. We should follow his lead and bring the Good News that Jesus is the light of the world. 

Challenge of the week:

This week are you going to be God's light by bringing the Good News to your corner of the world? How do you plan on doing that?

Accomplishment  of the week:

What did you do this week to bring God's Good News to the world?
