Epiphany
8th February, 2026 (Year A – Epiphany 5) “The Midwives & Liberation on the Job”
The midwives teach us that liberation does not begin with a burning bush. It begins when ordinary people decide that obedience to God sets limits on what the state, boss, or the system can ask of them. It tells us to train our attention, to help us recognise what faithfulness looks like when it shows up quietly without applause.
This is story of ‘Liberation’ delivered by Shiphrah and Puah, to all the Hebrew male babies they delivered.
The Pharaoh’s authority ends where God’s begins, and so they quietly refuse to comply.
This is fear as faithfulness. That is what faithfulness looked like that day for one Hebrew baby boy, called Moses.
