I get that Home Alone is a funny movie, but being alone is not a plan for most of us. Far from being a fun adventure, being alone usually leads to loneliness, not comedy. God didn’t cut us out for alone-ness but for community. God hasn’t left us home alone! Epiphany reminds us that God has made his ultimate appearance to us in Christ. Baptists like me typically don’t place Epiphany on their short list of major Bible doctrines, but we might be able to make our Christmas experience more than temporary euphoria if we did.

Epiphany: Why Christmas isn’t just one day a year.
TSO’s song “Old City Bar” speaks to a common problem—making Christmas last throughout the year. Understanding Epiphany as the reality of Christ’s presence with us is key to our ongoing experience of the joy of Christ’s Advent.
