Following the Christmas season of celebrating Jesus’ birth, we observe the Gospel events that reveal the truth and manifestation of Jesus’ identity as King, Savior, and Messiah. This revelation begins to deepen within Jesus’ own parents and widen to include others outside of Jesus’ family, even fast forwarding to when Jesus as an adult beginning his ministry.
The primary events observed during epiphany are the wisemen bearing precious gifts to Jesus, Jesus dedication in the temple, Jesus’ baptism, miracles of Jesus, and Jesus’ transfiguration.
This week, Rev. Ellynda asks this question for our reflection:
How can you celebrate the wonder of Jesus throughout this new year?
In addition, Rev. Ellynda invites us to choose a word that will be your guiding “star” that will help/inspire/remind you to point others to Christ.
SCRIPTURE PASSAGE: Matthew 2:1-12 (NIV)
