Yesterday we celebrated the revelation of Jesus as the long awaited Christ by the Magi. As we start into this Epiphany season, celebrating that Jesus is with us, it makes me wonder about our own epiphanies… Or, how we see the divine or God present with us?
In school I had a professor who was always asked “what has God been doing in your lives?” This was a big question, however as theologians if we are unable to answer this question, or as followers of Christ we are unable to answer this question. How can we claim, especially at this time of the year, that this is the season of Epiphany, aka “God With Us”.
With the return to the routine of work, school, and all the things that we step away from over the holidays at hand I do not have the answer either. I do feel that we need to keep looking, and make note however. That afterall, is what the season of epiphany is all about. As well, when I started out so long ago on this blog (that I have kept sporadically at best), this noting of the divine presence in our lives is what I was seeking. Years later, here I am still seeking. So be of good courage, have faith, by slowly easing into this epiphany season may we seek and find what we are looking for: God with Us.
