<p>“They set out and there it was, the star that they had seen at its rising, going before them.” (Matthew 2:9)</p><p>Every year on Epiphany, we hear this familiar Gospel about the Magi following a star. We hear about their long journey, their searching, and the gifts they bring—gold, frankincense, and myrrh. It’s a beautiful story, and one we know well.<br>But if we listen closely to the scripture, we notice something quieter happening beneath the surface. Long before the Magi ever opened their chests, they had already given God something far more personal: their time, their trust, their willingness to keep going even when the way forward wasn’t clear. This morning, I’d like us to linger there, and ask what Epiphany might be inviting us to offer God as well</p>
