THE EPIPHANY OF OUR LORD Soaked and Bloody: Our Lord and You. Worship: January 6, 2025

Have you ever received a surprise present, one that was out of your own price  range to get? That, in a nutshell, describes Epiphany. The Wise Men came to give presents, and instead received one their wealth could not have bought. We are included in this. We are baptized for the forgiveness of sins by His blood on the cross that covers our sins, once for all. That water and blood give us the greatest—and most expensive—gift in the world. Here we see Jesus revealed, manifested, in a star, in the coming of the Magi and the gifts they bring.
