EPIPHANY, Part II
It is beyond ironic that on the actual date of the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord (January 6 vs.
the transferred date of January 3 this year) that our beloved country would fall even deeper into the
Godless abyss toward which it has been running headlong for quite some time now. The attack on
our nation’s Capitol; manifest anarchy leading to the death of at least four people and adding to the
litany of death and destruction we have witnessed month after month in the past year, proved without
doubt that an association with a particular political party or ideology does not guarantee the moral
high ground. Many have commented repeatedly in disgust as “those people” killed, burned, looted,
and pillaged. Yesterday was the antithesis of the real Epiphany, but an epiphany nonetheless. We re-
vealed to ourselves that “those people” are actually us - all of us. We re-demonstrated, as we have
done from time immemorial, the brokenness of our human nature that, when left to itself, can rapidly
devolve into the “black ops” of the devil himself.
Epiphany is a two-way street. The Lord reveals himself to us in multiple and varied ways so that we
might have every opportunity to respond to his revelation. The intimacy we ought to desire with Je-
sus is either promoted or obstructed by our human reaction to divine action. The goal of the Christian
journey in this life is to progressively put on Christ so that we may become more and more like him
in the process. The Epiphany of Jesus is a dynamic and continuous revelation of his divine nature to
us. The epiphany of the faithful is the manifestation of our response to divine revelation. We reveal
the progress, or lack thereof, of our “theosis” – the degree to which we have put on the mantle and
character of Christ in this life.
If Jesus Christ is our All-in-All and the focal point of our being, then our actions must match our
claim. When the Godless rabble acts out, it is an accurate portrayal of humanity enslaved to its own
broken nature, with no ability for self-redemption. But when the supposed Christian faithful act out in
league with the children of darkness, it is a devolution into functional atheism that promotes
re-enslavement to our disordered passions and a rebuff of the Christian ethos. Godlessness, whether
actual or functional, yields the same rotten fruit.
Imagine the profoundly different scenario that would have played out if all of the protestors in Wash-
ington, D.C. had marched to the Capitol Building and promptly dropped to their knees in humble
prayer for our country and for the legislators of every stripe attempting to do the required business of
government: “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my
face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal
their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14). What an epiphany that would have been!
Satan is attempting to divide us and create enmity between us in every manner possible. But neither
pandemics nor polemics nor other dark enterprises have a chance of winning our undoing if Jesus
Christ is the source and summit of our lives and the well-spring of our witness to the world.
Maybe we are finally on the verge of an all-important epiphany for the salvation of humanity: “For
whoever is begotten by God conquers the world. And the victory that conquers the world is our
faith” (1 John 5:4). Praised be Jesus Christ!Religious Education The week ahead at
