February 15 Worship

2/8/2015

0 Comments

 
This coming Sunday brings us to the end of the season of Epiphany.  Throughout Epiphany we have learned about Jesus healing sick and casting out demons as a way of revealing his glory.  HIs glory now comes to a height with his transfiguration.  His own being becomes transformed to give further identity about himself.

We read in Mark's account:

"Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves.  And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no one on earth could bleach them.  And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, who were talking with Jesus."  Mark 9:2-4

We note that Jesus took only his inner circle of disciples and they alone were privileged to experience the glory of their Lord!  The narrative continues where Peter asks about making dwellings for them so that they  can stay on the mountain.  It doesn't come to be.  They descend from the top of the mountain and continue on in his mission.

We are those reading about this event - after the fact.  This event can bring confidence to us about Jesus' being.  Perhaps we will even experience a spiritually exciting moments for ourselves during the course of our lives.

I invite you to reflect on this event in our Lord's life as you prepare for Sunday's worship.

Discipleship Questions for Reflection

Can you imagine what Moses and Elijah were talking about with Jesus?  Have you ever wondered?

Has a peak experience ever come to you where you felt you were on a spiritual high?
