Sunday's Gospel...the Transfiguration. You're in the story, you really are. "Jesus took Peter, James and John with Him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone." You find yourself in times and places when you wonder, where is Jesus leading me?
"There He was transfigured before them. His clothes became dazzling white..." You've experienced the glory...and someday will see the glory with your eyes. "For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ." (2 Corinthians 4:6).
"Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them and a voice came from the cloud...." God had told Moses, "No one may see Me and live," and so He comes in a cloud to spare the lives of Peter, James and John. (Exodus 33:20) You've not seen God. Kind to us sinners, He descends upon us unseen but God is heard. "A voice came from the cloud, 'This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to Him.'" You do listen. You're listening now. (Mark 9:2-9)
Sometimes we wonder, what would it be like to live in Bible times? You are. You are.
