DH Update 10, Epiphany Week 4 Wed. February 1, 2023

Wednesday Meditation (Malachi 3:1)

See, I am sending my messenger to prepare the way before me, and the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple. The messenger of the covenant in whom you delight--indeed, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts.

So when we are asked, “What does the Lord require of you?” our response is to keep holy and not sin.

Before he and his wife arrived in Alabama, the blacks in the Southern United States were already involved in movements to break down segregation laws.

Wednesday Meditation (Isaiah 60:1)

Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.

Christians celebrate and give God thanks on January 6, marking Epiphany. Jesus was revealed to the world according to many Christians. This group of Christians celebrate the day of Jesus receiving the three wise men or magi. Many other Christians, however, remember Jesus’ baptism. Through the baptism, Jesus was revealed as the Son of God. We tend to rejoice in Jesus' baptism more than the arrival of the magi. Read more
