In dedicating the temple Solomon prayed the Gentiles would come. The Gospel tells us that Gentiles came to see Jesus in his infancy. Shortly thereafter Joseph and family fled under heavenly order to Egypt, a Gentile land. Jesus was born king of the Jews but came to be the Light of the world. Today we celebrate the Light to the Gentiles. Let us be lights! May our light shine as a city on a hill.
Epiphany!
