“ EPIPHANY THE SEASON FOR CELE-BRATING THE UNIVERSAL REVELATION

OF JESUS CHRIST.”

January 2015

( By: Rev. Benjie D. Gevera Administrative Minister of UCCP-Sabang Church of Christ Dis-

ciples )

1. THE WORD ON EPIPHANY:

The Christmas Season ends on Epiph-any Day which is the 6th of January. The word EPIPHANY comes from the Greek epiphaneia which means “ ap-pearance “ or “ manifestation. “ It cele-brates the visit of the Magi to the stable at Bethlehem. The Magi or the Wisemen or the three kings, as they are popularly called, were not Jews for they were from the East. The appearance of the Star of Bethlehem to them and which brought them to Bethlehem is considered the manifestation of God to non-Jews which is the Gentile world. Other appearances are acknowledge at Jesus’ Baptism and at the wedding at cana where He change of wa-ter into wine.

When Christmas or the Day of incarnation was transferred to December 25 in the

fourth century of the Christian Era. It was then the date of the winter solstice in the western regions. January 6 was declared the Day of Epiphany to coincide with the visit of the Magi. But its meaning is deeper that the mere birth of Christ for Epiphany signifies the whole purpose of

the incarnation: To manifest God to all the world.

The season of Epiphany continues until the third Sunday before Lent, that is ash Wednesday. It is mark with the

need and desire to share the Christian

faith with others outside the fold: It is for celebrating the universal revealation of Jesus, his being “epiphanized” or shown forth as the Savior of all though his manifestation to the Gentiles. The color of our liturgical motif is white, because of the two famous reasons: a.) It sym-bolizes the joy of God’s appearing to all people in the person of Jesus Christ, and b.) It’s also a semblance of the purity of His Love expresses and realized in Jesus Christ. The Living Lord of life and history.

Epiphanytide or the Season of Epiphany, is often associated and cele-brated as the beginning of the global concerns and mission of the church to the world. Indeed, beyond the Jewish to the Gentile world. This only highlight Christ’s revealing Himself into the world.

11. BIBLICAL REFLECTION :

The texts for our Reflection is found in the Gospel of Matthew 2:1-12; Psalm 72:10-15; Isaiah 40:1-9; 60:6.

The story of the visit of the wise men from the East gives several insights for Christian today.

First; these men were the scientists of their day. They were astrolo-gers, studying the heavenly bod-ies in order to receive messages of utmost importance for the world. They were thorough and they were patient. They at-

tended their job of research and interpretation of their findings.

Secondly; they were earnest in their religious quest too. Somewhere in their studies, they learned that when an extraordinary star ap-

pears in the sky, that is a sign that a KING was to be born who will rule the world. Even, while the knowledge of facts and figures would have been suffi-cient for others, for them it was nothing compared to the possibility of a new King being born. So, they left their laboratories and went in haste, to see this things that had come to pass, that they may offer Him gifts.

c. Thirdly; when they came to the place where He was born, the poverty of the place did not deter them, but more importantly, they recognized Him as the Great King, and in deep obeisance, paid homage and worshipped Him. And they offered Him gifts fit for a king, gold, frankincense and myrrh.

They knew in their heart of hearts and from their intellectual pursuits, this lowly babe in the lowly manger, was the one the world had long awaited.

THE SAVIOR! THE MESSIAH! LIBERATOR! The Lord of lords and King of kings!

Christmas Camp insight …. By Mark Louise Mabbatung

Ang sabi ko sa sarili ko, gusto ko ulit sumama sa christmas camp because I know na sa ganitong

gawain ay lalong mapapalago ang aking pananampalataya kay Lord. Lalo ko Siyang nakilala at siyem-pre nagkaroon ng mga bagong kaibigan. Nagdalawang-isip akong sumama nung malaman kong ako

lang mag-isa ang dadalo kaya‟t araw-araw akong nananalangin kung ano ba ang gusto niyang gawin ko. Hanggang sa dumating ang oras na kailangan ko ng magdesisyon kung sasama ba talaga ako.

Siguro binulungan ni God ang family ko na nagsabi sa akin na “kung kaya mo, sumama ka” at bukod dun ay isang magandang experience ang pagsama sa ganyang activity kasi diyan lalago ang

pananampalataya mo sa Kanya. Kahit na alam kong mahirap ay tumuloy pa rin ako sapagkat alam

kong andiyan si Lord na gagabay sa akin. Kagaya ng isang activity sa camp na isang tingin mo pa lang ay alam mo ng mahirap gawin pero ginawa pa rin namin, alam niyo kung bakit? Natutunan ko

na kahit anong hirap ng isang bagay basta lumapit lang tayo sa Kanya ay handa Niya tayong tulun-gan. Sa aking pagsama sa doon ay marami akong natutunan, dalawang bagay ang tumatak sa aking

isipan: Una, kapag may error sa result, hindi ka nagcoconsult. Sa mga desisyon na ating gagawin sa ating buhay ay nararapat lamang na ilapit natin ito sa ating Diyos Ama. Lagi nating tandaan na ang

plano ng Diyos ay mas magandang higit kaysa sa plano natin. Pangalawa, Gaano ba ka intimate and relasyon mo sa Diyos? Gaano ko nga ba kakilala ang Diyos? Doon ko narealize na hindi pa ganun

katatag ang aking relasyon sa Kanya na hindi ko pa Siya lubos na kakilala pero sa tulong ng mga naging kaibigan ko na nagbigay ng kanilang mga sariling karanasan at sa tulong ng mga counselors

ay lalo kong naunawaan ang gustong sabihin at nais iparating sa akin ng Diyos. Sa tulong din ng mga Pastor na patuloy na nagbabahagi ng kanilang kaalaman kung sino ba ang Diyos at kung paano pata-

tagin ng isang kabataan tulad ko ang relasyon ko sa Kanya ay nalaman ko na ang tanging nais lang ng Diyos sa atin ay ang personal nating relasyon sa kanya na huwag tayong mahihiyang lumapit sa

Kanya sa kalungkutan man o sa kasiyahan. Lagi nandiyan ang Diyos upang maging kaibigan, Ama at higit sa lahat tanggapin siya bilang ating personal na Diyos at Tagapagligtas.

Ikaw, Ako, Tayong mga kabataan, Tayong lahat na kasama ang Diyos na buhay at Dakila. Na hindi mapipigilan ninuman na magningning at magsilbing ilaw sa madilim na sanlibutan.

Camp Verse:

15 so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved

generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe. Philippians 2:15

SCCD carols members… Last Dec ­­7 until Dec 15 mem-

bers of different CROs group

together for Christmas carol

activity. A total of Php 61,002

was gathered and would be

evenly distributed to the partici-

pating organizations to help with their funding

needs. The caroling is an annual tradition of the

church.

SIMBANG GABI NOW AND THEN

The changing of times does not break the preservation of celebrating Simbang Gabi in SCCD. It’s not just a tradition because we need to do so but this is the mo-ment that strengthens relationships among family members and a time where our faith is intensified. This is the time where we mostly feel the presence of the Lord because it is the spiritual preparation for Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ. Simbang Gabi was scheduled from Dec 16-Dec 24, exhorters have shared their different insights while different boards and organizations sung for the anthem. Families too were assigned to sponsor coffee/bread/sopas/lugaw that were served after simbang gabi service as one

way of having fellowship with everyone.

Christmas Camp

The Christmas camp is held annually by the LCSMC

CYF Committee. Our representative Mark Mabba-

tung joined the camp last Dec 26-Dec 30 at Daang

Balite, Lalaan 1st, Silang, Cavite. With him were

Allyan Jell Samonte and Mischelle Quezon as one of

the staff. The camp‟s theme focused on how the

youth can shine like stars in the sky with a

registration of 1,500 each camper.

Communicants’ Class 2015 will start

on January 10, 2015, every Saturday

at 10:00 am to 12 pm. Calling all

those youth turning 12 this year or

older who have not been received yet

as full member of SCCD to attend this

class. The Pastoral Team will serve

as teachers.

Proclaiming Christ Concert & Worship. This year we had our Christmas Cantata last De-

cember 28, 2014 that was incorporated in the wor-

ship service.

Rev. Dr. Simon Chan shared that the story of

Christmas in the gospel of John carries out a hope-

ful but serious message. It is indeed good tidings of

great joy that (1) God himself has come to us in the

person of Jesus Christ (2) Light has dawned to dis-

pel darkness. But it is also a sobering message to

know that the truth tells us to reject falsehood, to

live in the light and not in darkness not just on this

day, but for as long as we live. After the sermon

was the choir cantata with the following songs ren-

dered: My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord, The Prom-

ise Messiah, God Rest ye Merry, O Holy Night, O

Little Town, What Child is This, A Festive Gloria

and Silent Night.

Indeed God is really great for giving us His Son Je-

sus Christ as

gift to humanity

and the world

will never be

the same again

because of the

coming of the

True light.

Family Night Every Christmas, it‟s already a tradition of Sabang to

have a family night during Simbang Gabi. For this year, it

was suggested by the CEN Board to have the altar be

decorated with a Filipino motif(bahay kubo nativity).

CROs presented Filipino dances. First prize was awarded

to CYAF then the CYF got the 2nd prize. Bibingka was the

main delicacy for the night.

Our Intimacy with God

Our intimacy with God—His highest priority for our lives—determines the impact of our lives. Genesis 1:26

One of our greatest needs is to know we are loved. Each of us has to feel certain, deep down in our hearts, that someone loves us, cares for

us, and has our best interests at heart.

That is how God designed us. He wants us to know He loves us with a passionate intensity too deep for words.

God created human beings with fellowship in mind—first with Himself and then with others. But we cannot fully love one another until we

have ourselves experienced the love of God. We experience His love when we willingly surrender to His call to be our Savior, Lord, and Friend.

There are at least three reasons God seeks our surrender:

1. He loves us and desires our fellowship and worship. As long as we hold something back from God, we cannot know Him completely or fully experience His love. When we surrender to Him, we get all of Him.

2. He wants our service for Him to be effective and fruitful. The more we know and love Jesus, the more effective our service will be. The closer we draw to God, the more impact our lives will have. The more energetically we nurture our relationship with the Lord,

the greater the positive mark we will leave behind. 3. He waits for the freedom to bless us. God is omnipotent, but He will not violate His own principles. He draws us to Himself so we

can experience His love and forgiveness. He asks for our willing surrender so that He can give us the best blessings He has to offer.

So why do we resist? With all this in mind, why does anyone resist surrendering to God?

Pride is the key reason most people resist surrender. They think they know better than God and that they can handle their lives better than

He can, so they keep Him at a distance.

Others do not surrender because they fear what God will do (or not do) for them. They think that if they give Him control, He ‟ll make them do

exactly what will make them most miserable.

Still others refuse to surrender to Christ because they believe Satan‟s lie, which tells them God is judgmental and will punish them for their

mistakes.

All of this is completely false! God always has our best in mind. He will refuse us no good thing when we gladly submit to His will (Rom. 8:32).

He tells us, “„I know the plans that I have for you,‟ declares the Lord, „plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope‟”

(Jer. 29:11).

It only makes sense to surrender to God, because when we do, we grow close to Him—His highest priority for us—and we begin to have an

impact on our world.

Fulfill your destiny. Anne Graham Lotz once told an interviewer about the many trials she had faced in previous years, including her parents‟

serious illnesses and her son‟s battle with cancer. She finally came to the point where all she wanted was Jesus. “Just give me Jesus,” she

declared.

Anne realized that if she had a personal, intimate relationship with the Savior of this universe, then whatever problems she faced, He would

face them with her. He would bring a sweet resolve and a peace to her heart.

Is this the cry of your heart? Do you want to know the Savior and live in the fullness of His blessing each day? You can. David wrote, “They

who seek the Lord shall not be in want of any good thing” (Ps. 34:10).

When you accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, He not only forgave you but also made you into a new creature. You were no longer standing

at a distance from God but were then able to draw near to Him.

If you have drifted in your devotion to the Savior and feel as though you grow more distant each day in your relationship to Him, then pray

that He will draw you near once more. He knows your weaknesses, and if you will tell Him you want Him to take control of your life, He will

come to you in a mighty way and bring hope and light to your situation, no matter how dark and hopeless it may feel (Is. 55:6, 7).

A New Life in Christ 2 Corinthians 5:17-18

What is in saluyot that should merit your attention? Firstly, it is rich in beta-carotene for good eyesight, iron for healthy red blood cells, calcium for strong bones and teeth, and vitamin C for

smooth, clear skin, strong immune cells, and fast wound healing. In other words, saluyot is a nourishing green leafy vegetable. Secondly, it is the legitimate source of the world's raw materials for containers of rice, corn, sugar, mongo and other commodities.

Saluyot is a leafy vegetable popular among Ilocanos, pasao, pasao na bilog or tagabang among Tagalogs, and lumbal, sumpa or panigbin among Visayans. Saluyot is easy to propagate, you can start harvesting the leaves after one month. It is easier to plant

saluyot than any other crop since you don't need pesticide and fertilizer to grow the crop. If you have ½ cup boiled saluyot leaves (45g) for your lunch and dinner, you are assured with 20 kcal for energy, 1.3 g for protein, 0.3 g for fat, 3.1 g for carbohydrate, 0.4 for fiber, 87.3 mg for cal-

cium, 22.5 mg for calcium, 1,334 for beta carotene, 1.0 mg for iron, 0.02 for thiamin, 0.04 mg for riboflavin, 0.3 mg for niacin, and 10 mg for Vitamin C.

For homemakers who would like to introduce saluyot in your daily meals, here are some nutritious recipes from saluyot developed by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute-DOST that your fam-ily will love to eat:

3 cups rice washing 2 medium tomatoes, sliced 4 tsp bagoong isda, mashed and strained 1 cup labong
