| Summary: Our text promises that when Jewish exiles have returned to Jerusalem, the glory of God will come to the city, and through Israel, it will be a light to the Gentiles. That promise begins to be fulfilled with the coming of the magi and Jesus’ encounters with Gentiles during his ministry. The glory of God is fully revealed when Jesus is crucified under the Gentile Pontius Pilate and raised on Easter. |

| Summary: Epiphany reminds us that Jesus Christ has come into the world as the Light for all humanity, and that nothing can extinguish this light. |

| Summary: We don’t want to have to live in darkness, and we long for light. The promise of the Isaiah text and the coming of the Magi point to the spreading of Israel’s light to the whole world. Those who come to Christ are able to see the world as it really is, and are called to carry his light to others. Because he is the light of the world, we are to be lights to the world |

| Summary: The light came upon the Israelites who had suffered through captivity in Babylon. The light of Christ has also come upon the people living in other places of darkness today. This light shines brightly in Epiphany when we bask in the glory of the Christ child. |

| Summary: The familiar camels of Christmas cards and manger scenes are mentioned in the First Lesson for Epiphany. Camels in reality can be tough animals to deal with. But human beings are also pretty tough animals for God to handle, always wandering away and resisting God’s call, as God’s dealings with both Israel and the Gentiles show. The fact that God does deal with us, that the fulfillment of God’s promises depends on God and not on our co-operation, is why there is hope for Israel and the Gentiles and the whole creation |

| Summary: Reason and what we can learn from the natural world can get us started on the road to Christ, but we need the church’s book, the Bible, to get the rest of the way there. |
