Coming Soon: Epiphany!
December 31st, 2008 by Matt Heerema | Posted in Liturgical Calendar, Ministry Philosophy, Song Selection
January 6 is Epiphany, marking the end of the 12 days of Christmas, it commemorates the revelation of the Messiah, and in some traditions also celebrates the visit of the Wise men to the Nativity scene (called “Three Kings Day”).
The Sojourn Music blog has a good little write-up about Epiphany and why we should recognize it.
It’s a time to focus on the gradual revelation of Jesus’ person and mission in the minds and hearts of his disciples as He ministered on earth, and a time to realize our own mission: to spread the gospel, declare “the Kingdom is at hand,” and carry the “ministry of reconciliation” wherever we go.
