Luke 9:28-43a
-
It is easy, in the midst of confusion to not know who to listen to, so we can stop listening to anybody, including the one we need to hear.
-
A tension in the Transfiguration event is how Jesus responds afterward — in decrying to the people’s faithlessness.
-
The Transfiguration is a big, bold event, full of bombast, but present are disciples who are confused and frustrated. Much like we are.
-
The story of our failure reveals the opportunity for connection: that the point is not to seek the mountain, but each other.
-
After the Transfiguration, Jesus has what appears to be an outburst of frustration. But is it? Maybe they are more revealing than that.
-
The Transfiguration is the showstopper. But what happens when Jesus comes down the mountain reminds us what Jesus is really doing.
