Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12
One of the characteristics of a journey is the fact that it has the power to shape and form us for the rest of our lives. That is one reason the growth of the spiritual life is depicted over and over again as a journey. The journey of the magi is also our journey, our journey into what Jesus called “life in abundance.” It is a journey to the heart of God. Because, as Irenaeus understood, the glory of God is a fully alive human being, it is also a journey of becoming fully human, filled with the Divine Life within us.
