Arise, shine, for your light has come, illuminating the profound truth of Epiphany, where Christ's arrival grants us insight into God's nature and intentions. As we reflect on the teachings of Saint Paul and the epistle to the Hebrews, we recognize Christ as the image of the invisible God, the radiance of God's glory, and the exact imprint of His nature. This revelation is not merely theological but deeply anthropological, revealing not only God's identity but also our own. Through Christ, we understand our true selves, our value, and our purpose, which cannot be discerned through human wisdom alone. Isaiah's prophecy underscores this, depicting Christ as the light that dispels darkness and ignorance, allowing us to see ourselves and our world clearly. As we step into this new year, let us embrace the light of Christ, reflecting His glory and love, and striving for unity and maturity in faith, so that we may truly shine as lights in the world, giving glory to our Father in heaven.
