This is Epiphany Sunday, the time when we remember the story of the Magi following the star to find the infant king. The scripture lesson is the first verses of Isaiah 60 when, in one of the darkest times in Israel’s history, the prophet calls on the people to “Arise! Shine!” because “The light has come!” Like Israel, we can go through times when the darkness seems never-ending, but those prophetic words reclaim us and offer us hope.
