On the Cusp

On Epiphany Sunday we consider the story of the Magi. They had several barriers to stop them reaching and worshipping Jesus the Messiah. Even though they were on the cusp, they could have returned to their own land in the East, without reaching their destination. Nehemiah was in a similar state too as he travelled to Jerusalem to inspire people to rebuild the Walls there. We, the Church, are the cusp of being Jesus' Bride. Let us live, think and pray in the light of this. Let us decide to keep in step with the Holy Spirit, so that any barriers we face can be overcome too.
