For Sunday the 19th of January, 2025 (Second Sunday after the Epiphany)
As we gather for worship on the second Sunday after the Epiphany the manifestation of Jesus as the Son of God and Savior of the world continues with the report of the first of his miraculous signs—the transformation of water into wine at the wedding at Cana. Thus God again showed his glory in Israel, the glory of which Isaiah had prophesied, glory which shows the grace and favor of the LORD toward his disheartened and downcast people. By his grace and favor the Lord encourages us to look to him, to put our faith in him in every trouble. May we respond, with his disciples, in precisely this way.
