Epiphany 2 The season of Epiphany focuses on the ways that God revealed His Son to His people before his crucifixion. Many of the Sundays feature texts that are suitable for recalling the progressive revelation of Christ to the peoples and nations of the world.
In the Old Testament lesson, Isaiah 62:1-5, Isaiah proclaims that joy it will give God to redeem His people and how greatly He wishes to bless them.
The Epistle lesson, 1 Corinthians 12:1-11, teaches that the Holy Spirit is no longer reserved to prophets and kings, but is given to all God’s people who, by baptism, have become part of the mystical body of Christ. Each baptized believer is given gifts and abilities by the Spirit to benefit the others.
The Gospel lesson, John 2:1-11, records Jesus first miracle. Few people saw it, but the disciples who had followed him from the Jordon saw it, and knew it was no ordinary man that they had followed.
