Transfiguration
February 7, 2016


The Epiphany season of light – the season of seasons – culminates in the festival Sunday celebration of the Transfiguration.  In the mystery of this mountaintop experience for the disciples, the identity and nature of God’s Christ is powerfully revealed – seen in a new light.  Yet while the “transfiguration” centers on Jesus, an equally powerful invitation of transformation is held out to all who will see and believe.  As Jesus is transfigured, Jesus’ followers are transformed … on a mountain long ago, and in this season of transformation blossoming in the midst of life today.
