Monday January 12, 2016I Week After EpiphanyToday’s readings invite us to slow down and marvel at the God who creates, speaks, and comes near.In Genesis 2:4–25, we see the intimacy of God’s creation—forming humanity with care, breathing life into Adam, and establishing relationship as central to His design. Humanity is not an accident but a deliberate act of love, placed in a world meant for stewardship, communion, and trust.In Hebrews 1:1–14, we are reminded that the God who once spoke through prophets has now spoken fully through His Son. Jesus is the radiance of God’s glory, the exact imprint of His nature, sustaining all things by His powerful word and reigning above all.And in John 1:1–18, the eternal Word becomes flesh and dwells among us. The Creator steps into creation, bringing light into darkness, grace upon grace, and making the unseen God known.Together, these passages call us to worship the Word who made us, redeemed us, and still invites us into life with Him.
