Weekly News 15th February, 2015

Mission Statement—Through Christ: change lives, transform communities

Vision Statement—Inspired lives and inclusive communities rejoicing in and through Christ.

Last Sunday after Epiphany—Transfiguration We don't know why Jesus singled out Peter, James, and John for this special revelation of his glory and purity. Perhaps they were the ones most ready to understand and accept this great truth.

Jesus took the disciples to either Mount Hermon or Mount Tabor. A mountain was often associated with closeness to God and readiness to receive his words. God had appeared to both Moses and Elijah on mountains.

The Transfiguration revealed Christ's divine nature. God's voice exalted Jesus above Moses and Elijah as the long-awaited Messiah with full divine authority. Moses represented the law, and Elijah, the prophets. Their appearance showed Jesus as the fulfilment of both the Old Testament law and the prophetic promises.

This confirmed Jesus was not merely one of the prophets. As God's only Son, he far surpasses them in authority and power. Many voices try to tell us how to live and how to know God personally. Some of these are helpful, many are not. We must first listen to the Bible, and then evaluate all other authorities in light of God's revelation.

A cloud suddenly appeared and enveloped this group on the mountain. God’s voice came from the cloud, singling out Jesus from Moses and Elijah as the long-awaited Messiah who possessed divine authority. As he had done at Jesus’ baptism, God was giving verbal approval of his Son. At that time, the message had been addressed to Jesus (“You are my beloved Son”) and had benefited John the Baptist; here, the voice spoke to Peter and the other two disciples (“This is my beloved Son”). The voice then commanded Peter and the others to listen to Jesus and not to their own ideas and desires about what lay ahead.

Jesus told Peter, James, and John not to speak about what they had seen because they would not fully understand it until Jesus had risen from the dead. Then they would realize that only through dying could Jesus show his power over death and his authority to be King of all. The disciples would not be powerful witnesses for God until they had grasped this truth. We don't often try to interpret the details of our lives and our times according to a detailed scriptural plot. But each of us is called to do what the heavenly voice said: Listen to Jesus, because he is God's beloved son. And as we learn to listen, even if sometimes we get scared and say all the wrong things like Peter, we may find that glory creeps up on us unawares, strengthening us, as it did the disciples, for the road ahead.
