Epiphany revelations from the Old Testament

January 6, 2018 By Miriam McKenney Leave a Comment

Epiphany offers us a chance to remember that Jesus was a king, but not the king people thought he would be. He was a baby, a child of God, and his life promised that we, too, would all be children of God. The prophets foretold him, God revealed him, the Three Kings honored him, and we adore him.

Our four-year-old granddaughter enjoyed retelling the Christmas story. So did I – until it took an unexpected turn.
