Just a Minute: Ephiphany

Epiphany is when the three kings, guided by God to Jesus offered their gifts. God had already summoned the Jewish shepherds, now the non Jewish Kings. Showing that Jesus had been born for all.

King Herod was terrified his power would be usurped, so he had all the under three’s boys in Bethlehem killed. God warned Jesus’ parents to escape, they fled to Egypt becoming refugees. Jesus in being a refugee, experienced what it was like to be homeless.

We believe Jesus, God’s Son, in coming to earth in human form, experienced all that humankind feels - including homelessness. God is with all who for whatever reason have had to flee their homeland and seek refuge in a foreign land.
