The Epiphany

Christ Revealed to All Nations: Epiphany Sunday 2026 (Matthew 2:1-12)

At Epiphany, Gentiles come to worship Israel’s Messiah. The Magi anticipate that reality dramatically. They are not Israelites returning from exile. They are Gentiles coming from beyond the covenant people, yet the light of Israel’s Messiah draws them to worship.

The Epiphany of Our Lord Jesus Christ is the feast of the light moving outward. The Child born in Bethlehem is Israel’s promised King, and precisely because God is faithful to his promises to Israel, this King is also the hope of the nations.
