Growing in Wisdom

Even in Jesus’ day, twelve was an in-between time. Our Scripture tells us that Joseph and Mary traveled to Jerusalem every year for the Passover festival, as many Jewish families did to fulfill their traditional obligations. At twelve, Jesus probably had a number of friends, and as his family traveled to and from Jerusalem, he probably spent quite a bit of time traveling with other families.

Persia: A Place of Return

Within this text there is a hidden gem – a message, or perhaps a challenge, for us in the 21st Century, and every century leading up to this moment in time. According to our Scripture, the wise men from Persia traveled to Jerusalem first, because they saw the star rise, which they interpreted as an announcement of a new King for the Jews and they followed protocol – they traveled to the place where Jewish kings should reside.

Advent 4 - Bethlehem: A Place of Humility

Jesus’ parents were ordinary, hardworking people – a carpenter and his wife who hoped to make a modest living in a society that mocked them just because of their ethnicity. They were poor, and their status would never be equal to the Jewish or Roman elite.
