JOINING JESUS
In the season of Epiphany, Jesus is revealed. He makes his glory known to the people. He draws his disciples to himself. Throughout this series, we will join Jesus in some of the key moments when he revealed to the world who he truly is—the Son of God, our Savior.
Joining Jesus at the Fig Tree
Today, we see Jesus reveal his glory at the fig tree, calling some of his first disciples to follow him and to see where he would lead them. As we join Jesus at the fig tree, we also see where Jesus leads us—to faith, life and salvation. He turns our doubts to belief and leads us to call others, as we are compelled to say with the disciples, “Come and see.”
Joining Jesus at the River
Today, we join Jesus as he comes to be baptized by John at the Jordan River. Here, Jesus steps out of obscurity and into public view—and reveals himself to be someone worth the attention of the people and worthy of glory. When Jesus appears, he not only reveals himself to be God’s own Son. He also invites us to join him in discipleship, to follow him—even into glory of our own.

Joining Jesus in Restoration
Today, we see Jesus revealing his glory, might and majesty—revealing himself as the Son of God through his miracles. Joining Jesus as he displays his power through miracles of healing, we also understand that Jesus has come to bring a much more thorough healing to all of us.
