too new for us / for 2015

What Ev Mk told us with a short word "The Gospel of Jesus Christ, a Son of God"
the same message Ev Mt (2.1-12) tells us with a story: "some wise men came to Jerusalem from the east". Ev Lk didn't bring this conviction first - but the Ev John starts with the message directly: The word of God (JvN) and the Jahwe-God are one !

After JvN has died, the Jesus-Movement likes to tell us: look at this Jesus-Life and you will, you have to discover: in HIM, directly in this JvN the famous Jahwe-God became man.  Therefore - it's now a total new time, the time of IMMANUEL.

Epiphany means: it became clear to us; we have dicovered; we believe; we are convinced; we have decided: NOW - since today - GOD is present for us in JvN
and if you take on JvN - God is present in you too. We see a total new kind of God's presence in this world.

If peole ask: where is God ? Epiphany is the Christian answer: HERE and NOW -
in the life of JvN - you will find God; and accepting JvN into your personal life - as Word of God, as Bread of Life - you also will become a the NEW Temple of God

In this regard - a total new message, a new view, a new vision is becoming actual.

Our problem in 2015 is not soo much the new message as such; the problem lies in our incapability, incapacity to grasp the message, to regognize the whole meaning of this new view. ... it' still tooo NEW !!!

Look: we like "God in Heaven"; we like the secured separation between God and mankind.   An example: as we need great help, real help, we are going to ask God in Heaven for HELP - we are not going in the streets to ask for help. Sure,
the most of our people they love God very much...  not so much the neighbour.
etc...   God is somehow our rescue, our salvation, our mercy - not somebody else.
But now - after christmas - we have to change.
GOD IS PRESENT, ACTING IN / BY HUMANITY.  Who can follow ???
