8th January 2017 – Epiphany & Baptism A

Epiphany
THE JOURNEY
(Matthew 2:1-12)
The magi travelled
and found truth, not in a king,
but under a star.

We journey seeking
how to be truly human,
how to live God’s grace

and in our journey
go home by another road,
the way of Jesus.
        Jeff Shrowder, 2017.

Baptism of Jesus
DESCENDING AND ALIGHTING
(Matthew 3:13-17)
John the Baptist preached:
announcer of one to come,
much greater than he.

Declared ‘Son of God’,
Jesus’ baptism portends
the kingdom of God.

Putting that simply,
the way of Jesus is life
touched by the Spirit.
        Jeff Shrowder, 2017.
