discipleship
-
When we gather together, placing ashes on our foreheads to remember our mortality, we join a very public and common witness.
-
Sometimes what we see in the world isn’t real. Or more precisely, real in the way we imagine it. Because we aren’t actually listening.
-
What these three disciples witness on the mountaintop is beyond most of our comprehension. And we, too, focus on the wrong things.
-
The mountaintop event is saturated with the disciples’ confusion. And is the crux of what happens after they come down the mountain.
-
There is so much unsaid in the text. We’ll miss how powerful it is. And how much we already assume is just clearly there.
-
The undercurrent of the early ministry of Jesus is how much opportunity he sees in what is to follow. And in how many see the same.
