Second Sunday in Epiphany, 16 Jan 2022, LoLLC

These Epiphany readings focus on salvation, God’s history of delivering her people and God’s plan of salvation incarnate in Jesus. Remembering that Isaiah’s metaphors are drawn on the experiences of women, this text offers a way to talk about life after trauma, including rape and other dehumanizing acts. Our narrative foundation in the biblical text focuses on God’s deliverance; a chastened affirmation, held through times of tribulation and celebration. Those invisible siblings spoken of by our text authors bear witness to God’s promises.
