Sermon
Now about eight days after these sayings Jesus took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. And while he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white. Suddenly they saw two men, Moses and Elijah, talking to him. They appeared in glory and were speaking of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
Every year, on this last Sunday of our Epiphany season … the Sunday before Ash Wednesday … we hear the account of the Transfiguration of Jesus from one of the synoptic Gospels. It is obviously the record of a mystical experience, and for many that is sufficient … a testimony to the divine nature of Jesus. However, for me there is much more … not just about Jesus, but about the lives that you and I live in this world today.
