We are now in the midst of our Epiphany Season, the season of light, or enlightenment, the season which began on the 12th day of Christmas, or Epiphany, the day when the Bible story says the wise men found Jesus, they had an epiphany; they were awakened, enlightened. And now in each of today’s scripture readings, people have their eyes opened to something they had not seen before.

There is a thread connecting our readings this morning. All through today’s scripture readings, people are being called to further, deeper spiritual maturity. In the First Reading, Isaiah discerns an even greater vocation for his people than that of their own recovery. And then in the psalm, the writer expresses how his vision of God and of what God requires, becomes more mature, deeper. In the Second reading, Paul is making every effort to help the people of the Corinthian Community realize their spiritual potential.

If you ever want to have a preview of what the theme of a particular Sunday will be all about, just look at The Collect of the Day, which is found on the first page after the opening hymn, towards the bottom of the page. Today’s Collect is all about The Baptism of Jesus and our own Baptisms. So, once that is recognized, it is no surprise that TODAY’s sermon is going to be all about Baptism …because this is the day designated in the church Calendar to focus on the Baptism of Jesus and the beginning of his public ministry.

Well, today is the twelfth day of our Christmas season. New Year’s is behind us … The Feast of the Epiphany is tomorrow … January 6 … but this time between Christmas Day and Epiphany is the Church’s liturgical Christmas season. The world would have us believe otherwise … most of the Christmas decorations in stores are already gone in those post-Christmas sales. And some decoration certainly look like they need to be put away … just look at the wreaths turning brown here in our sanctuary. That is what happens when you have Christmas Day on a Wednesday and our liturgical season stretches through two Sundays. I was in Target yesterday and they have already put out the Valentine candy displays!
