Epiphany is the season of light; light appearing, light bursting forth, light going out. Light shining on Israel (a people who were in darkness) and light shining on the Gentiles (a light to enlighten the world). We’ve been talking about light the past few weeks and how the light of the gospel - the good news - came to Ephesus with Paul, and how it might come to Salem, through us and the others here who are walking with Jesus.
Today is a hinge day, and it’s convenient that Nate+ is gone, because I get to mark the change from talking about the light coming to Salem, which I hope you are getting a taste of how incredible that might be, to talking about a focus on how light guides our pilgrimage.
