Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany
Preaching
Lectionary Preaching Workbook
Series III
The Epiphany - the manifestation of the person of Jesus as the One promised by God - continues on this Sunday and determines the choice of readings, including the Gospel for the Day. Despite the fact that the lectio continua (or semi-continuous) reading of the Gospel has taken over, the Epiphany theme still determines which specific selections will be read (and, generally, preached upon). As he did in the miracle at the wedding feast in Cana, Jesus continues to identify himself and manifest his uniqueness in his ministry by his teaching and his miracles.
