Old Testament predictions come to fulfillment.
On the journey with Jesus, the disciples misunderstand many of the prophesies presented to them in the teachings. A humble donkey plays a main role.
EPIPHANY – “an illuminating discovery” according to one definition.
The Magi were gentiles, foreigners – the opposite end of society, that came to worship the newborn king.
They came to know the blessings of being part of God’s love for humanity and creation as a whole.
Jesus is the Saviour of all people not just for those in the church.
