Epiphany is the feast where the Magi come to pay homage to the infant Jesus, but it can also be used to describe a moment of sudden revelation or insight. In the life of Jesus, there are three epiphanies, and each one reveals a truth about ourselves and how we can grow toward God.
3 Epiphanies and What They Mean for Us:
- The Magi - the Magi are instructed to go back a different way.
- We turn toward Christ and follow his teachings, and follow a different path.
- Baptism of the Lord - Jesus’ identity as Son of the Father is confirmed.
- We recognize our own identity and dignity as sons and daughters of God.
- Wedding at Cana - Christ is revealed as bridegroom and Mary says, “Do whatever he tells you.”
- We follow the commands of Christ.
