A sacred sign

Epiphany remembers the moment the Magi followed the star to Bethlehem and how they worshipped Jesus when they eventually came to the manger (Matthew 2). Their willingness to follow the sacred sign (the star) changed their lives forever. 

Writing on the theme of the Incarnation, Christina Georgina Rossetti spoke about the sacred sign:

Love came down at Christmas,
love all lovely, Love divine;
Love was born at Christmas;
star and angels gave the sign.

Worship we the Godhead,
Love incarnate, Love divine;
worship we our Jesus,
but wherewith for sacred sign?

Love shall be our token;
love be yours and love be mine;
love to God and others,
love for plea and gift and sign.

Thought:

As we follow the Christ into the unknown may Jesus be both our vision and our destination.
