Coming in the Unexpected
from Cup o' Joe Hosted by Joseph Zenk
Readings for the Feast of Epiphany - Isaiah 60:1-6; Matthew 2:1-12 We've heard these readings before. Like family and close friends, they can become so familiar, we don't see or hear them anymore. We already have them figured out. But God often comes through the unexpected. Like Luke, who had the first acknowledgment of Christ's role be proclaimed by shepherds, Matthew also has the outsider as the first to reveal Christ's Lordship. But Matthew goes one step further. He invites "new-agey" nature-reading foreigners to be the ones to actually see. And when they come in contact w/ the religious elite of the time, they are seemingly patronized and sent on their way. More crack pots coming through. And those elites missed what was right in front of them. As always, special thanks to my daughter, Bridget, for her creating and performing of our intake and outtake music. And continued thanks to all of you for inviting me into your lives - at least your headphones and car stereos. I'm humbled and honored.
