THE GOSPEL: Matthew 2.1-2
‘We have come from the east to worship the king.’
The annual telling of the Epiphany story could lead us to take it all for granted: Magi from far away places, guided only by a star, fabulously rich and so on. However, they were gentiles, outsiders, detested by all! Yet they sought out the new-born King when King Herod’s religious advisors, who knew all the prophecies about the King being born in Bethlehem, make no move to go and see this wonderful deed of the Lord. Their gifts recognise that the Christ-Child is God (frankincense), that he is a king (gold) and that he has come to die for us (myrrh).
