Epiphany
I’ve always loved the word epiphany, maybe because I’ve always wanted to experience one.
I’ve always wondered what it would be like to encounter Jesus in such a vivid, supernatural way that I could see His presence with my own eyes.
Epiphany reminds me that this longing isn’t strange or wrong. It’s human, and it’s the ache we feel to experience God in a way that’s unmistakably real.
January 6 marks Epiphany, the day Christians remember the moment the light of Christ was revealed to the world.
In the West, we picture the Magi traveling across unknown terrain looking for a promised King they had read about. In the East, typically the Church remembers Jesus’ baptism, when the heavens opened and the Father declared, “This is my beloved Son.”
Either way, Epiphany is all about revelation.
God revealing Himself to humanity, God drawing near, and God making Himself known.
As a new year begins, Epiphany invites us to start not with pressure-filled resolutions, but with expectancy and the belief that God delights in revealing Himself to those who seek Him.
The Magi didn’t know the whole story, they just followed the small light they had, and it led them straight to Jesus.
What if we began this year the same way?
What if we stopped trying to force clarity and simply followed the light God has already given through His Word, His character, and His nudges in our spirit?
Epiphany encourages us: we may not see Jesus with our physical eyes, but we can absolutely experience Him in real and meaningful ways.
He is the God who shows up. The God who guides. The one who made the path before us.
So as this year unfolds, let’s pay attention to the quiet ways Christ reveals Himself in our ordinary days.
Let’s look for Him expectantly, knowing we will find Him because He desires us to know Him.
Here’s to a year of seeking Jesus, seeing Jesus, and being in awe by the ways He shows up for you.
“My heart says of You, ‘Seek His face!’ Your face, Lord, I will seek.” — Psalm 27:8
