Epiphany, Baptism


Epiphany, baptism
two points in the story
two moments in
the life of Jesus Christ

each of them significant
in identifying this person
the man who would later
choose to climb our cross

Epiphany, baptism
in words and actions
showing the true identity
of the man, Jesus Christ

the Magi and the Father
each in their own way
stating Christ’s name
that Jesus was God’s Son
