“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.” — Isaiah 60:1
Have you ever had an aha moment in life?
Of course you have. We all have.
Archimedes had it in a bathtub.
Newton had it under an apple tree.
And Christians—believe it or not—have it again and again.
Today, the 6th of January, marks one of the greatest aha moments in human history.
Twelve days after Christmas, the world outside the Jewish community met Jesus for the very first time. The wise men arrived, knelt, and worshipped. And in that moment, the light of Christ stepped beyond Bethlehem and into the nations.
This is why we call today "Epiphany"—the day the world said, “Oh! This is who He is.”
It was the divine "aha" moment that changed everything.
🌿 Why does Epiphany matter to us today?
Because the story of Epiphany is not just historical.
It is deeply personal.
There are moments in our walk with God when something suddenly clicks.
A truth we’ve heard a hundred times becomes alive.
A Scripture we’ve skimmed for years suddenly breathes.
A burden we’ve carried for too long suddenly lifts.
These are the Aha moments of epiphany—
holy interruptions where God turns on the light inside us.
Epiphany is not merely about understanding; it is about recognition.
It is the moment when the heart catches up to what the mind already knows.
It is when Jesus—who has been walking beside us all along—becomes unmistakably visible.
Your Personal Epiphany
Ms. Francis Taylor describes it beautifully:
“Think back to the moment when you accepted your faith in Christ as your Savior. Perhaps it was a gradual realization that what you have been taught over the years was true. Perhaps it was a particular event of joy or sadness that caused you to welcome Jesus into your heart. This was your epiphany.”
Your epiphany may not have involved a star in the sky or gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
But it involved something far greater—
the King of Kings revealing Himself to you.
And the truth is, God doesn’t stop at one epiphany.
He keeps giving them.
He keeps opening our eyes.
He keeps surprising us with light.
