Today, guided by Light, on the Feast of the Epiphany, also known as Three Kings Day, we commemorate the journey of the Magi to worship the newborn King, Jesus Christ. This celebration is a powerful reminder of Christ’s manifestation to the Gentiles and His light guiding all nations to Him.
Daily Devotional for January 6
“After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was.” (Matthew 2:9)
The Light of Christ
The journey of the wise men symbolizes God’s universal call to salvation and the guiding light of Christ that draws all people to Himself. Jesus is God’s sign, like a bright star in the sky: “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel.” (Isaiah 7:14)
A Journey Guided by Light
The Magi’s journey, guided by a star, reflects our spiritual journey toward Christ. Just as the star led these wise men to Jesus, God’s light guides us in our search for truth, leading us to the ultimate revelation of His love and grace in His Son.
Worship and Adoration
The Magi’s arrival and gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh symbolize reverence, worship, and acknowledgment of Jesus’ kingship, divinity, and sacrificial death. On this day, let us also bring our gifts – our hearts, our lives, and our worship – to honor Him.
The Epiphany: A Revelation to All
The Feast of the Epiphany celebrates the revelation of Christ to the Gentiles. It is a joyful affirmation that the message of salvation through Jesus is for all people, regardless of nationality, culture, or background.
