Foolishness Found in the Mess

January 4, 2026

Matthew 2:1-12

Epiphany

Rev. Teer Hardy

So the question Epiphany leaves us with is not, “Are we insiders or outsiders?”

The question is far more tender than that.

When God speaks, will we explain it or follow it?

Because the good news is this.

God is not finished.

Not with the church.

Not with the world.

God is not finished revealing the fullness of God’s grace—often in places we do not expect, through people and ways we do not anticipate, in forms that look foolish until they save us.

The Magi find Christ in the mess, not because the mess disappears, but because God chooses to be found there.

And by grace, so can we.
