Who is the Fourth Magi?
According to legend, he was part of the original group of three wise men but gets delayed because he stops to help a dying man and never catches up with the caravan. He actually never makes it to Bethlehem in time to see the baby Jesus and spends the next 33 years searching and finally arrives in Jerusalem as Jesus is being crucified. Because he had spent those 33 years helping others, he actually had met Jesus many times...for as Jesus says, "...what you have done unto the least brothers and sisters of mine, you have done unto me."
That is the purpose of this blog, to help the parishioners of Epiphany of Our Lord parish in South Philly encounter Jesus in the scriptures on their day-to-day journey, as I too search for Jesus in my life.
I will undoubtedly challenge, motivate, persuade, or just give a word to ponder in the depths of our hearts.
This will be a learning experience for me. I am new to the blogging world, but not to the world of scripture, and I hope you will grow in your relationship with Jesus as you journey with me. Peace!
