Hidden to be found

When someone has an epiphany, it's not that reality changed. The way they see that reality did. In the same way, having Jesus in our lives doesn't always mean our reality changes. It simply means we see that reality differently (and better). Today we get an “Epiphany Orientation” about how God reveals his glory. In order to carry out his glorious work of salvation, Jesus hid is glory and went to the cross. In order to allow sinners to stare at his glory unafraid, God hides it in the gospel. Both in Jesus himself and in the gospel, when God’s glory is hidden it is most on display.
