For the third The Church at Hiraeth online service of the month, we continue with the Christmas story. After last week’s look at the book of Luke, we return to Matthew this time, with the focus on the visit of the magi.
Often depicted as ‘three kings’, we don’t actually know how many there were. The Bible tells us that they were plural and that they brought a trio of gifts and in this week’s service, we look at the significance of the gold, incense and myrrh.
In addition, with footage from the area where we live, there’s an encouragement to live in the light. After all, Jesus is the light of the world and one of the messianic prophecies (Isaiah) tells us that ‘the people living in darkness have seen a great light’.
