In this sermon for January 8, we explore the story of some wise men from East bringing gifts to the holy child, Jesus. Imagine what their arrival and gifts must have meant to Mary and Joseph. Not only did they provide resources for the young family—no doubt needed on their trip as refugees to Egypt—but their arrival pointed to the impact this child would have beyond Israel. This child is born for the whole world, for all of creation.
Today's Scripture readings are Isaiah 60:1-7, Psalm 72:1-7, 10-14, and Matthew 2:1-12. Sermon from Pastor Daniel Flucke for Christ the King Lutheran Church in Port Washington and Living Hope Lutheran in Saukville, Wisconsin.
