On April 4th, 1967 exactly one year, to the day, before Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, he gave a speech at Riverside Church in New York City. The speech, which is about the Vietnam War, is one of his best and I highly recommend it to you.

Here we find ourselves in the second week of Epiphany, as we continue to reflect together about the meaning of Christmas, the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, Israel’s Messiah, the Christ, the one God anointed to restore God’s chosen people.

Isaiah 60:1-6 | Psalm 72:1-7, 10-14 | Ephesians 3:1-12 | Matthew 2:1-12

This Sunday marks a new season in the Church Calendar. Advent and Christmas have given way to the season of Epiphany. The season of Epiphany focuses on two themes: the identity of Jesus as the Messiah (or Christ) and the inclusion of the Gentiles in the story of Israel. Or, to put the two together: Jesus’ fulfillment of the Jewish Scriptures and prophecies, and that fulfillment including an invitation to all peoples, not just Israel.
