Episode 247 - You are part of a royal family - king/queen, prophet and priest

Happy 12th day of Christmas! Today is the Epiphany of the Lord where we celebrate the three magi traveling from the east. They arrived in Bethlehem and placed themselves before Jesus bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. These are the gifts that we receive ourselves in baptism. In isaiah 60 we are told to arise because the glory of God shines above the darkness of the world. The Lord has come to rule over the nations.
