The Epiphany of Our Lord Jesus Christ

The Gospel: Matthew 2:1-12. In the time of King Herod, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, asking, Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews? For we observed his star at its rising, and have come to pay him homage. When King Herod heard this, he was frightened, and all Jerusalem with him; and calling together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born. They told him, In Bethlehem of Judea; for so it has been written by the prophet: And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who is to shepherd my people Israel. Then Herod secretly called for the wise men and learned from them the exact time when the star had appeared. Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, Go and search diligently for the child; and when you have found him, bring me word so that I may also go and pay him homage. When they had heard the king, they set out; and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen at its rising, until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw that the star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy. On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then, opening their treasure-chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they left for their own country by another road. 09:30 a.m. Holy Eucharistic & Sermon Leaders: Dorothy Bushell & Biron Daniels January 5, 2014 The Rt. Rev. Julio E. Murray Th., Bishop Rev. Pbro. Manning Maxie Surez, Rector

He Came to Die for Us

Christ came at the Fathers bidding to release us from the death-grip of sin. His arrival on earth is the story of Christmas. How He accomplished His mission is the story of the Cross. He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death on a cross, (Phillippians 2:8).

Amen. Primera Lectura Isaas 60:1-6. Biron Daniels Levntate, Jerusaln, envuelta en resplandor, porque ha llegado tu luz y la gloria del Seor brilla sobre ti. La oscuridad cubre la tierra, la noche envuelve a las naciones, pero el Seor brillar sobre ti y sobre ti aparecer su gloria. Las naciones vendrn hacia tu luz, los reyes vendrn hacia el resplandor de tu amanecer. Levanta los ojos, y mira a tu alrededor: todos se renen y vienen hacia ti.

Te vers cubierta de caravanas de camellos que vienen de Madin y de Ef; vendrn todos los de Sab, cargados de oro y de incienso, y proclamarn las acciones gloriosas del Seor. Psalm / Salmo 72:1-7. Dorothy Bushell 1 Give the King your justice, O God, * and your righteousness to the Kings Son; 2 That he may rule your people righteously * and the poor with justice; 3 That the mountains may bring prosperity to the people, * and the little hills bring righteousness. 4 He shall defend the needy among the people; * he shall rescue the poor and crush the oppressor. 5 Vivir mientras duren el sol y la luna, * de generacin en generacin. 6 Descender como el agua sobre el campo segado, * como la lluvia que empapa la tierra seca. 7 En aquel da florecern los justos, * y habr abundancia de paz, hasta que no haya luna. The Epistle: Ephesians 3:1-12 Clemente Brathwaite This is the reason that I Paul am a prisoner for Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles for surely you have already heard of the commission of Gods grace that was given to me for you, and how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I wrote above in a few

words, a reading of which will enable you to perceive my understanding of the mystery of Christ. In former generations this mystery was not made known to humankind, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit: that is, the Gentiles have become fellow-heirs, members of the same body, and sharers in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. Of this gospel I have become a servant according to the gift of Gods grace that was given to me by the working of his power. Although I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given to me to bring to the Gentiles the news of the boundless riches of Christ, and to make everyone see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things; so that through the church the wisdom of God in its rich variety might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was in accordance with the eternal purpose that he has carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have access to God in boldness and confidence through faith in him.
