GOSPEL THOUGHTS

*Christmas Season : Epiphany of the Lord*

*Gospel : Mt  2:1-12*

*First Reading : Is 60:1-6*

*Deeper meaning of Going back with different Road/route*

*1) Three wise men*

The Gospel of the day speaks about the wise men from the East. 

They came in search of Jesus the Messiah. On the way they encountered many hardships

Even then finally they

Reached the place, on time, and they consulted about the Messiah to be born 

*2) The way which they Came was challenging*

When they began the journey, to Bethlehem, the wise men were happy

But they encountered many challenges 

First of all the King He Heard. Because of Him, they encountered many hardships

When the Star disappeared, they faced many  challenges. Apart from this many other challenges they encountered

*3) Different Route, they took*

After meeting Jesus, the wismen chose a different way to go back 

Meeting Jesus,   they chose a different route to go back . Going back with different route has deeper

Taking a new way 

Change of life

New way of life 

From Sin to Holiness 

From evil things to good things 

After the encounter  with taking different route very important in our life 

Am I ready to take the new road or new Life??
