EPIPHANY

"O God, by the leading of a star you manifested your only Son to the peoples of the earth: Lead us, who know you now by faith, to your presence, where we may see your glory face to face; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen." Collect for the Epiphany

Today is the Epiphany! In some traditions, it is known as Three Kings Day as it commemorates the coming of the three wise men, who by their presence with the child Jesus and their gifts to Him, revealed Jesus to the world as Lord and King. 

The word epiphany means to "to reveal" or "to show." During the season of Epiphany, which lasts from now until Lent, we will have the chance to read passages from Scriptures which reveal more and more who Jesus Christ is - as the Son of God, as the Eternal Logos, etc. etc. 
This is a good thing because even those of us who are in the Church tend to have a vision of Jesus that is just too small, that is formed more by our culture and our own desires than by what Scripture reveals to us about Jesus. Thus, it is our prayer during this season that our vision of Jesus would be enlarged!
