“Epiphany: A sudden realization of great truth.” I celebrated Epiphany (Jan. 6) by baking a special strudel to commemorate the Magi (Matthew 2) who, astutely recognizing from the change in the night sky that a king had been born, journeyed from the East in search of the Christ child. Simeon and Anna (Luke 2) also experienced an epiphany when they saw Mary and Joseph carrying newborn Jesus into the temple, and recognized that this babe was the long-awaited Messiah. Epiphanies come to prepared hearts…God help us to watch and listen, and be prepared for His invasion into our lives!
