Journey Of Life Lutheran Church

In this Epiphany Sunday sermon, Pastor John reviews the visit of the magi with some possibly surprising results. A closer examination of the traditional nativity scene reveals a most unlikely gathering of characters: Jesus (King of the Universe born a human child), Mary (unwed mother), Joseph (carpenter caught up in God's big story), shepherds on the night shift (just about the lowest members of Jewish society) and... what in the world? ... magi from the East? These guys were likely priest/magicians who practiced all sorts of astrology and enchanting arts. Why would God invite shepherds and magi to the birth of his Son? There is a great message in this unlikely assemblage of characters. God's love is so much bigger than we imagine. Hear more in this encouraging sermon from Pastor John.
