Week of February 18, 2007, Luke 9:28-36
One of the Scriptures for Sunday is from Luke, chapter 9, verses 28-36 - the message and lessons of the Transfiguration:
28 About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray.
29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning.
30 Two men, Moses and Elijah,
31 appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem.
32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.
33 As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters-- one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." (He did not know what he was saying.)
34 While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
35 A voice came from the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him."
36 When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves, and told no one at that time what they had seen.
Heavenly Father, thanks for this picture of Your glory in the midst of human frailty, disciples who did not know what to do or what to say in the midst of Your presence and glory.
Jesus, we worship You. For You are truly God. You are truly the One we can look to for all things. You lived amongst people who were very human. Jesus, as Your Heavenly Father spoke about listening to You, may we also carve time out of our day to worship You, to allow ourselves to be transformed by Your presence, to listen to You – to be still and know that You are God (Psalm 46).
Thanks for Your presence with us, Your power in us, and Your love around us – so that we can have these mountaintop experiences at times, and then get into the real life situations that we face every day, knowing that You are at our side…. Amen.
The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you His strength and His great peace. In the name of the Father and of the Son of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
