Look for the Light (Part 1): The Magi

About this episode

David Armstrong discusses the significance of the Magi in the Christmas story and encourages reflection during the Epiphany season.

David Armstrong brings the first talk in a new series, 'Look for the Light: An Epiphany Series' that calls for us to slow down during this season of Epiphany and pay attention to the divine presence of God. As seen in the coming of Christ, God is so often found in the darkest and most unlikely of places waiting to be discovered. The first story we reflect upon is from the Christmas story from Matthew 2:1-12 and the moment when the Magi, the wise people from the east, follow their curiosity and longing to find and visit Jesus as a child at his birth.
