The Epiphany

In the first reading Isaiah exults in the Glory of the Lord made manifest both in creation and the revelations made to the descendants of Abraham.

During the first fifty years during and after the Life, Death and Resurrection those who had witnessed these events had come to realise that Jesus had told them that he is God made manifest in human being, flesh, and that his grace was not the exclusive property of those to whom he had made the first revelations recorded in the Old Testament.

Paul, who loved his own race to the point of seriously offering to accept personal damnation if that could atone for the sins of the Jews, knew that the Resurrection had heralded the complete reset of the relationship IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT offered to each individual human being regardless of our DNA. 

The souls which we have to nurture during our lifetimes are each a new creation at the moment of our physical conception and although free, belong to God as his created image and likeness. Jesus has revealed that IAMIAM is FATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT,  infinite Loving Mercy focussed on each of the "iams" we know ourselves to be.

Our lives are lived in this world but just as there was with Jesus there is always "something more here" which is vastly more important. I have to know and love God and value each other person as much as I value my ownself for at the end of my life there is to come my personal Epiphany which Our Father wants to be my Eternal Joy but which also requires my unequivocal cooperation with all that is revealed in Scripture.
