“Think Again: Seeing Things Differently” by Peter Bankson

Celebrating the Feast of the Epiphany
This Sunday we celebrate Epiphany, marking the coming of the Magi to visit the Messiah — the Promised One, the Christ-baby — bringing their adoration, and their gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh. It was for them a time of surprising insight, an unexpected opportunity to think again about many things they thought they knew. When they went to see Herod in Jerusalem, they expected to find the child there, in the royal nursery. But no one in town knew what they were talking about. It must have been a surprising time for Herod as well. Here were these royal messengers, arrived from across the Eastern desert, bearing riches for a new king that he had heard nothing about. He was caught in a serious contradiction. Who IS the King?

The Second Sunday of Advent
we have childhood memories of preparing for Christmas but what about Advent? Do we have childhood memories of Advent as a season? We might if our parents were religious. We might have had a little ritual each week when we lit another of the four candles. We might have had an Advent calendar and enjoyed opening a little door each day to find a religious symbol or a Bible verse. But I suspect most of us did not really celebrate the season of Advent per se when we were children. Advent might not even have been mentioned. It got lost in our excitement over preparing for Christmas. We didn’t think, “Wow! It’s Advent!” What we thought was “Seventeen more days until Christmas!”
