"Epiphany"
means "to show" or to reveal. This season, (which completes
the themes of Advent and Christmas),
invites us to enter into the mystery of the early ministry of Jesus as
He is "revealed" to be the Son of God throughout the gospels. We are
encouraged to ask the question, "Lord, how would you reveal yourself to
me in a new way at this time of my life?" Since the day of Pentecost,
the Holy Spirit has actively renewed the church throughout the ages
with fresh revelations of the nature of God the Father and the love of
Jesus, His Son. The Scriptures admonish that "those who have ears to
hear, let them hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches." Let's
seek God for a sharpening of our senses that we may experience His
presence and truth revealed in the scriptures, one another, and through
all creation.
Let's take a journey into the heart with the Magi as we learn to
see God's divine presence in the small and simple things in life. Let's
submerge into the depths of the Jordan River with Jesus as he takes on
our humanity in baptism and turns the waters that were previously known
for judgment by flood into sacred and life-giving waters once and for
all time. Let's enter into the mystery of Jesus turning water into wine
at the wedding feast of Cana as we allow God to transform our everyday
lives into simple encounters of extraordinary joy and thanksgiving. And
in this, let's resolve above all other things, to become (like the Magi)
extravagant worshipers of God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
