When someone has an epiphany, it's not that reality changed. The way they see that reality did. In the same way, having Jesus in our lives doesn't always mean our reality changes. It simply means we see that reality differently (and better). Today we get an “Epiphany Orientation” about the identity of the members of Christ’s kingdom. No matter the person and no matter their role in God’s saving work, outward appearances often hide underlying reality. This was true of Jesus and it his true of all who follow him. Thankfully, God attaches the reality he speaks into existence with visible evidence. He visibly anoints those he chooses to be his own. This was true of Jesus. It is true of all who follow him.
