I love Transfiguration Sunday...
It has so many meanings....
Jesus on the Mountain Top with Moses and Elijah, a clear connection with the OT that Jesus is the Messiah.
Jesus' Transfiguration, a symbol of the glory to come.
Peter's fully human desire to capture the moment, enshrine it and focus on the place and not the Who.
The foreshadowing of the Resurrection to come, a glimpse of glory before the darkest days ahead. A glimmer of hope in the night of Jesus' ministry. Like a cancer victim receiving news the cancer is in remission. Or that the storms are over. Or the report card with a C+ instead of an F. And those times when we feel the real presence of God working in our hearts in worship and prayer.
Moments that can change our day, week, even life. Little Resurrections of hope barging into ordinary life and changing it forever.
