Epiphany reveals a surprising truth about God's love: it is universal precisely because it is particular. In this sermon, Pastor Ollie Bergh explores what theologians call "the scandal of particularity"—the fact that God does not save the world through vague ideals, but by becoming a specific person in a specific place at a specific time. From Jesus' genealogy and mission to the visit of the Magi, we see how God's concrete, incarnational way of loving opens the gospel to all nations while meeting each of us exactly where we are. The result is not an abstract promise, but a personal word of forgiveness that sends us, like the Magi, down another road.
