Sermon for Epiphany (Observed)

Nothing in the human senses can perceive over such great distances as the eye – and nothing transmits to the eye over such great distances as light. It’s said in good conditions can one can see a lighted match in the dark many miles away. From ancient times lighthouses have been used to keep sailors away from shoals – even in heavy storms the light comes through. And of course, we can see the light of the moon, sun, and stars in the heavens from thousands and millions of miles away.
