Musings and Messages: January 5, 2025

What gifts do you give to the Christ Child? Probably not gold, frankincense, or myrrh; Jesus does not need any of those things. In fact, Jesus does not need anything from us. However, he does want us to give him our hearts, minds, and souls.

This past Advent, we were asked to spend less and give more so that we could love all and thereby worship God more fully. Now, on the Feast of the Epiphany, we are invited to offer ourselves to the Lord and then share the Good News of salvation with the world, as the Magi did.

How will you make Christ present this new year? What will you do differently in 2025 to be a light to the nations by sharing your gifts and talents as an act of worship to God? We are stewards of God’s grace and mercy. How will we manifest our stewardship this year?
