About this listen
Mark reflected on the story of the Magi, a journey full of mystery. After visiting the infant Jesus, they were warned in a dream to return home by a different route, and Scripture tells us nothing more. Mark used this to remind us that every journey of faith is unique. The shepherds stumbled into their encounter with Jesus unexpectedly, while the wise men were actively seeking truth — yet both were transformed by meeting Christ.
In the same way, when we encounter Jesus, our lives are changed, and we too are called to “return by a different route.” This may mean re-examining our priorities, values, relationships, careers, or sense of purpose. Mark challenged us to consider what idols we might be holding onto, and whether we have truly surrendered our gifts for God to use according to His will. As we look ahead to 2026, we are each invited to respond to God’s call, helping to build His kingdom on earth — worshipping, offering our gifts, and choosing a new way forward.
