Epiphany: What the Magi Teach Us about our Journey of Faith

The identity of these Magi "from the East" is very mysterious, but what we know for sure is that they were seekers, looking for God. Once they recognize Him in the sign of the Star, they take action, making the long and difficult journey to Israel. Losing sight of the Star, instead of succumbing to discouragement they seek out the direction that they need. Soon the Star reappears, and they "rejoice with great joy". Upon finding the Christ, they worship him and offer gifts in sacrifice. Finally, they start back for their home country, but they do so as changed men. Now themselves are lights who will lead others to the Light of the World, Jesus Christ. How much do these Magi have to teach us about our own journey of faith!
