An epiphany—a manifestation of the divine or a sudden perception of a thing’s essential meaning or nature—calls for response, reaction.

When the Magi learned of the newborn King, they sought and worshiped him. So do we. At his Baptism, Jesus was declared the Son of God and empowered by the Spirit for ministry. In our Baptism, we were made children of God and filled with the Spirit for our role in the church.

The proclamation of Jesus as Son of God and the world’s Savior moved those who heard to share the good news. God intends us to do the same so that Epiphany may be a constantly occurring event.
