Oh what joy that the Gospel of Jesus Christ has come from the people of Israel to the whole world.  From the “wise men from the East” to the spiritual revivals today in the global south and the global east, the centrifugal power of the Gospel, the Holy Spirit Himself being that One who is the power source, is at once propelling the Good News of Jesus to the ends of the earth and gathering the peoples from every tribe, every tongue, and every nation into the glorious Body of Christ, the Church. Oh what a glorious day! On this Epiphany 2016 we give You thanks, Lord Jesus Christ.

Saint Paul the Apostle wrote of our Lord’s appearance, His Epiphany in Ephesians:

For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles— assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you, how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly. When you read this, you can perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit. This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God’s grace, which was given me by the working of his power. To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things,  so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him.

The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Eph 3:1–12.

Christ has died
Christ is risen
Christ will come again
The Spirit is moving across the world
Bringing His children in
The Kingdom came to Asia Minor
The Kingdom to Europe too
The Kingdom came with power
A divine appointed hour
And all who saw
Were all who knew
Christ has died
Christ is risen
Christ will come again
The Spirit is moving across the world
Bringing His children in

The Kingdom crossed the ocean
The Gospel news to bring
To the shores of North America
To the peoples of inland Africa
And now in the East
They’re beginning to sing
Christ has died
Christ is risen
Christ will come again
The Spirit is moving across the world
Bringing His children in
Now in the East
They’re beginning to sing

Christ has died
Christ is risen
Christ will come again
The Spirit is moving across the world
Bringing His children in
