Upcoming Sunday
Today we celebrate the Festival of the Epiphany. Epiphany comes from a Greek word meaning “reveal. When the Savior was born, he was first revealed to Israelites. But today, we see the Lord miraculously guides foreigners across countless miles so the Savior could be revealed to them as well. How did the respond? The Queen of Sheba was led to praise the Lord. The magi were overjoyed. We also rejoice in the good news that this child is a Savior for all people.
