The word “transfiguration” means transformation or conversion. It means that a big change takes place. “Why do I always have to change?”
Have you ever had a “Mountain Top” Experience? Mountain top experiences are those moments in our lives when we feel God’s presence in a glorious. Those moments are precious to us and are unforgettable. We don’t experience every day.
Peter, James and John had a “mountain top” experience. Jesus revealed to them His glory – “dazzling white” light in His face and clothing. (Lk 9: 28-36).
We need to visit “the mountaintop” to see God’s glory. But we need to leave “the mountaintop” and serve the people. We can’t stay there, we must return to the valley in service to people who need us. Life is not lived on the mountaintop, but in the valley. Let’s not just love with words but with actions.
Lent is a time of concentrating on our need for Christ to shed his light into our areas of darkness. By loving those who don't love us, we reveal the light of Christ to those who live in darkness.
“The Lord is My Light and My Salvation.” (Ps 27).
