Epiphany

The term epiphany means "to show" or "to make known" or even "to reveal." It was the wise men who revealed the baby Jesus to be Christ the King. Today is a special day for all us to remember that Christmas is a time of great joy for we have Christ born on earth, becoming man and showing us the way to live a new life. A life of love, forgiveness, compassion and "new testament" living. New Testament living to me was letting go of the "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" ways and moving towards our ability to "turn the other cheek", essentially to forgive. The ultimate Epiphany is recognizing Christ's coming was for our Salvation. In your Epiphany today, what must you forgive within yourself or another to bring God's salvation to your life and to make known the divinity of Emmanuel?
