Discovery

Matthew 2.1-12
  • The wise men visit Mary, Joseph and the young Jesus some two years after his birth.
  • God’s activity is centred not at the focus of human activity in Jerusalem but in Bethlehem a place easily overlooked.
  • The wise men’s journey, worship and gifts express their understanding of and devotion to the infant king.

This week's resources explore: finding focal points; giving and receiving gifts; moments of revelation.
