An Epiphany for a Watching World
Reflections
It’s not just the saints and poets who ‘realize life’ while they live it. It is anyone who wants to see God. A God who does not go into hiding. A God for whom the game of hide and seek has to do with us who hide, with him who seeks, who speaks, who shows up.
— Timothy Jones

- The passage is not so much about behavior change, but more about the encounter, the meeting of Three Wise Men with new born baby Jesus
- Recognize Christ as the true King
- How people recognize Christ?
- How the Three Wise Men, who are foreigners/outsiders, recognize Christ?
- Worship Christ as the true King (v.11)
