The Day of Epiphany

Meditations on

Staying In the Grace for Today

The Day of Epiphany

Jesus replied, “All who love me will do what I say.

My Father will love them,

and we will come and make our home with each of them.

John 14:23

When I read this verse today, I thought of the delightful spiritual meditation, My Heart, Christ's Home by Robert Boyd Munger, first published in 1951. Remember, when we speak biblically of our heart, we mean much more than the organ that pumps life- sustaining blood throughout our body. Biblically, our heart is our soul, the center of our essence as a person, our mind, emotions, and will. Jesus says when we realize our life belongs to God, by creation and redemption our life belongs to God, The Father and Son and Holy Spirit will make their home within us. The Apostle Paul internalized this truth as, “For ‘In him we live and move and have our being.” (Acts 17:28 NRSV)

This truth renders moot the thought we can discharge our responsibility, our duty to God by showing up an hour each week for Sunday worship. If God is making His home within us, if we live and move and have our being in Him, then His grasp on us is complete, 24/7. On the liturgical calendar, today is The Day of Epiphany, which remembers the revelation of Jesus to the world, first by the visit of the Maji, and throughout the season of Epiphany, by all the means Jesus revealed he was God’s Messiah. What does this have to do with us? Everything!

Remember, ‘In him we live and move and have our being.” Because this is true, we can expect our Lord to manifest his presence in our life each day. In this way, the Season of Epiphany isn’t just several weeks until Ash Wednesday, our Season of Epiphany is every day for our entire life.

My Takeaway: As I am experiencing Jesus manifesting his presence in my life, each day, I am staying in God’s grace for each today.

(Selah is a word that appears in the Book of Psalms that I often use as the Complimentary Closing in my correspondence. Its meaning, as I use the word, is to pause and think about these things.)
