Broadcast<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Epiphany - Part 1\n Matthew 2:1-2\n 01\/06\/2025\n\n\n 1 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in\n the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from\n the east came to Jerusalem,\n 2 saying, ``Where is he who has been born king of\n the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and\n have come to worship him.'' (ESV)\n\n Today is the Feast of the Epiphany, the day where the Church\n celebrates the visit of the Magi to the infant Jesus. Because\n the Magi, the Wise Men, were not Jewish, today is often called\n the Gentile's Christmas.\n\n Epiphany comes from the Greek word which means ``dawn'' or\n ``sunrise.'' It is an unveiling, a revealing, or an appearance.\n During the Epiphany season, which lasts from January 6 to the\n Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, we see how Jesus is revealed as\n both true God and true man.\n\n Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the\n days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east\n came to Jerusalem, saying, ``Where is he who has been\n born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose\n and have come to worship him.''\n\n\n Since before the days of the Babylonian Captivity, six\n hundred years before the birth of Jesus, the sages of Babylon and\n Persia were astronomers. While the children of Israel lived in\n Babylon, Daniel and several other Jews rose to positions of power\n in the court. The Magi would have known about the prophecies of\n the Messiah, and would study the stars to seek wisdom.\n\n When a star appeared in the appropriate place in the sky,\n the Magi saw the sign that a new King was born in Israel. They\n went seeking for this king.\n\n Please join us at Trinity this evening, at 7:00 p.m. for the\n Epiphany Service with Saint Paul, Fulda, where we will hear more\n about the Magi. May our Lord continue to bless you with faith\n and wisdom. Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"January 6, 2025 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2025"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2765"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2765\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2766,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2765\/revisions\/2766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
