Exhortation
“Epiphany” means “manifestation,” and during this season of the church year we commemorate Jesus’ manifestation to the magi, the firstfruits of the Gentiles. Epiphany announces that Jesus is King of all nations.
As Head of all things, Jesus is your Head. By manifesting Jesus as King, Epiphany also calls you to acknowledge that you are a servant of King Jesus.
It’s not enough to hear the King’s word. If you hear without doing, you’re building your house on sand, and it will fall when the storm hits. To keep Epiphany rightly, you must hear and do what Jesus says.
During this Epiphany, commit yourself to obeying the King. Observe Epiphany by building on the Rock, the Rock that is Jesus.
