In a world marked by fear, division, and unrest, the sermon returns to a single, defining confession: “Jesus Christ is Lord.” God’s word is not passive or gentle; it cuts through darkness, exposes false powers, and calls us into lives shaped by justice, kindness, and humble courage. To name Christ as Lord is to declare our ultimate allegiance, a claim that has always carried real consequence from the first Christians who defied Caesar, to the witness of Martin Luther King Jr., to a congregation that once risked comfort and security to stand for what was right. The call of Epiphany and of baptism is clear: to embody this confession and live as people who speak truth, seek justice, and follow Christ no matter the cost.
