Arise, Shine by Pastor Jonathan Hein
God sure did a lot of stuff in order to set up the wise men to go find Jesus. He brought them to faith by interfering to an absurd degree in history. But the thing is he does the same for us, and in return we Arise and Shine.
Sermon Text: Isaiah 60:1-6
“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. 2 See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. 3 Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
4 “Lift up your eyes and look about you: All assemble and come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the arm. 5 Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy; the wealth on the seas will be brought to you, to you the riches of the nations will come. 6 Herds of camels will cover your land, young camels of Midian and Ephah. And all from Sheba will come, bearing gold and incense and proclaiming the praise of the Lord.
