University Worship Service - 1/1/17 - Megan Pardue

At the start of this new calendar year, we celebrate the feast of the Epiphany, which falls on January 6 and is the climax of the Christmas season and the twelve days of Christmas. The term epiphany is Greek and means “to manifest” or “to show.” Today’s lesson from Isaiah foretells the light of Christ that will arise over all nations. In Matthew, the wise men also follow a light—a star that guides them to the Christ child, revealing to the world that this small infant is Lord and King. We are called to look for how Jesus reveals himself today, in relationships, in people, and in those whom we least expect.
