The Transfiguration
It is a mysterious and often misunderstood scene in the life of Jesus. And yet this supernatural moment doesn’t simply help us see God. It also helps us see our way forward.
As we walk through the Christian year together, each season will be accompanied by a guiding question – a question to wrestle with, pray through, and bring to God. During the season of Epiphany, as we give our attention to our revelation of the son of God, we’re asking together: “How are we encountering Jesus?”
At the Mount of Transfiguration, Jesus encounters Moses (representing the Law) and Elijah (representing the Prophets). What might this encounter be telling us about Jesus in the context of God’s greater Story?
Just like at his baptism, we hear the Father’s loving affirmation spoken over the Son (vs. 5). The season of Epiphany begins and ends with a declaration of love. What does this reveal to you about the character of God?
From time to time, we find ourselves in seasons that are hard, confusing, and difficult to discern. Can you share a season like that in your life? What clarity are you seeking right now?
At the conclusion of this supernatural moment, Jesus is still present with his disciples. How has Jesus been present in the midst of a season of chaos and confusion?
