Revealed


There is a season in the life of the church called, The Epiphany. Epiphany means “to show”, “to make known”, or to “reveal”. As we step away from the Christmas season where we celebrate Jesus’ coming to earth, we move into this season of revealing. When Jesus was a little older, three magi from the east came to worship him and in doing so “reveal” him to the world as Lord and King. They were the first to do so…showing Jesus to be God, come to earth, to save the world.

But as we follow the story of Jesus, we see that this was not the only revelation of who he was. Over the next weeks, we are going to look at Jesus “Revealed,” Stories from the gospel s that revealed Jesus as the true son of God.

Why would we focus on this, we too have been called to reveal Jesus to the world. Maybe by reminding ourselves of who he is, we can once again embrace our mission to Reveal Him to our world.
