The Story of God: Transfiguration
Reflections
Behind all things
behind the grey surface
there is a glory escaping
born of heaven
and belongs to heaven
a light that welcomes
a more profound way of seeing things
that transfigures the world
that casts a spell of hope
that sees the glory in the cross
and life within death
it is a glory
that meets us here
on this mountain
where Jesus Christ
covered in the dust of the world
is caught up in the glory of heaven
welcome to the mountain— by Rev. Roddy Hamilton
- Peter avoids the cross
- Thinking all the glory he sees is sign of God coming to take over the world
- Listen to Jesus
- Because of who He is (v17:5) “Listen to Him”
- Because of what He teaches; Jesus’ message is more important than Moses’ Laws
- Because of His mission
