A Blessed Epiphany to you.
Because the 12 days of Christmastide have now unfolded, we flip the web page of our calendar to concentrate on the showing, the presentation, the revelation of Jesus to the world.
Epiphany is the season of the Christ-centered yr wherein we proclaim that there’s a Mild shining, piercing by means of, all types of darkness; there’s Hope for restoration and renewal in even essentially the most shadowed elements of our lives.
2 Timothy 1:9-10
“This grace was given us in Christ Jesus earlier than the start of time, but it surely has now been revealed by means of the showing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed demise and has introduced life and immortality to mild by means of the gospel.”
To order our days, months, and vacation celebrations round Christ is to take pleasure in seasons like Epiphany in January, a celebration following the seasons of Creation and Christmas.
We will then have a good time moments within the civil calendar all year long (federal holidays, and so on., however now in context—the context of Christ being the revelation of all that’s good, and true, and delightful on this world.
This religious observe, following the Christian Calendar, binds collectively the entire of the calendar yr within the Pleasure and Hope and Assist and Love of Jesus.
Might Jesus’ Mild burst by means of each window within the house of your coronary heart this Epiphany Season,
Dan +
