It's been three weeks since I jogged: ice storms and illness and being away and vocational "stuff" interfered. So today (when it's a whoppin' 0° out) I made myself go out and jog. To ease the pain of getting back to the exercise routine, I took along a tape of my father-confessor's Epiphany sermon. Oh, I just have to bubble over about something in it!
The magi brought gold. Gold is fit for a king. Jesus is the King of kings.
The magi brought gold. Mary and Joseph were going to need some gold/money as refugees.
(You may have heard those points before.)
The magi brought gold. The tabernacle and the temple were rich with much gold. Jesus is the true temple; He came to tabernacle among us, full of grace and truth.
The magi brought gold. The altar was covered with gold. The mercyseat was gold. The place of atonement in the Holy of Holies: gold everywhere. John tells us (1 Jn 2:2) that Jesus is the propitiation for our sins and the sins of the whole world.
The magi brought gold.

ReplyDeleteJust to be clear to folks, Lutheran Woman isn't laughing at what was said in the post. She's just giggling in glee because she was lucky enough to hear it in person!
