     | 641 views

    An examination of epiphany through the visit of the magi to the toddler Jesus. Their gifts stimulate us to living out our Christian lives in this new year by living holy lives that glorify God.

The baptism of Jesus was originally assigned to the same date as the birth because Luke 3:23 was read to mean that Jesus ...read more
