Season of Epiphany
“Come, friends, and share the feast; here drink the wine supplied by Him who is both guest and host—For us, the crucified.” LSB 408.
In this season of Epiphany, Christ, the boy born in the humble manger, is revealed to be true God as well. Starting with His baptism where the Fa- ther declares that Christ is His beloved Son, Jesus moves into His compas- sionate ministry, declaring Godly wisdom and performing life-giving miracles.
He is true man and true God, and in Him the heart of God may be seen and received by all of mankind. In Him, salvation is won and proclaimed and distributed. In Him we find our hope.
His first miracle, at the wedding in Cana, has Christ changing water into wine—an act of loving service to those around Him. In this singular action, He points to His miracle that would endure as long as time does, a miracle that offers more than an extended party here on earth.
At the feast we share today, Christ transforms lowly wine into His blood and the wafers of bread into His body, that all who eat and drink at this table would receive His life-giving flesh and blood hidden under simple elements. This is the medicine of immortality, given for you.
We come to His table, humbled that He would choose to come to us with this miracle and this mercy. We are repentant and aware that we cannot make ourselves worthy—that is His job alone.
