Epiphany 2026 — God Shows Up in Unexpected Ways

Throughout Epiphany, we see Jesus stepping into ordinary places and meeting people exactly where they are — often before they are ready or aware. Each Gospel story reveals a fresh beginning as Jesus invites us to follow Him in real time, opening our eyes to what God is quietly doing in and around us.

God Shows Up Uninvited

Readings: John 1:1-18

The Word becomes flesh not because the world asked for Him, but because God refuses to remain at a distance. Incarnation reveals a God who moves toward us before we are ready, willing, or welcoming. Jesus is God’s quiet insistence that we are not alone.

Baptism of the Lord

Readings: Matthew 3:13–17

Jesus begins His ministry by standing in the same line as sinners. Before a voice from heaven names Him, He chooses solidarity. Following Jesus means discovering Him not above us, but among us — waiting His turn beside imperfect people.

A New Name Before A New Life

Readings: John 1:29–42

Jesus renames Simon long before Simon lives into the identity. Discipleship begins with grace spoken ahead of transformation. Jesus sees who we are becoming before we do — and calls us into that future.

Blessed Before Changed

Readings: Matthew 5:1–12

Jesus blesses people before they’ve done anything or become anything new. Blessing is not something we earn — it is God’s starting point. The Beatitudes reveal a kingdom drawn especially close to those who feel farthest from joy.

You Already are

Readings: Matthew 5:13–20

Jesus does not tell His disciples who they should become. He tells them who they are: salt and light. God entrusts us with influence and illumination long before we feel qualified. Transformation begins with identity, not effort.

Interrupted by Glory

Readings: Matthew 17:1–9

Peter tries to capture the moment with plans and structures, but God interrupts him. Some revelations are not meant to be organized — only received. The Transfiguration teaches quiet reverence: sometimes God’s presence calls us not to speak, but to listen.
