Luke 9:28-43a | When you’re on top of a mountain, it’s easier to see where you’ve come from and where you’re going. Standing higher, or on top of something, gives us a different perspective. The landscape doesn’t change, per se. But, our perspective of where we’ve been, and the road forward, has the potential to shift. This weekend, as we celebrate the last Sunday in Epiphany, we climb to the top of a mountain with Peter, James, and John. That moment at top of the mount was likely something the disciples didn’t fully understand (nor is it something we can fully grasp!) But as we stand in God’s glory and holiness, we have the potential to be transfigured as we look to Jesus as our liberator, and as we listen, ready to enter into Christ’s liberating work in the world.
