The
book of Matthew says the Magi went to Jesus on "their way" (Matthew 2:9) but went home by "another
way." (Matthew 2:12) According to the story, the Magi
alter their return trip having been warned in a dream about king Herod's evil
plan. But Matthew's word choice also reflects the promise of the Gospel. We
come to Jesus with our "own way" and Jesus gives us "another
way." We bring Jesus the hurts, hang ups, and hassles of our "own
way" and Jesus shows us "another way" of living and loving. If
you missed this weekend's message, you can listen to it here.
