This past Sunday, February 22 was transfiguration Sunday, when we remember Jesus meeting with Moses and Elijah on a mountaintop as he prepared to journey to Jerusalem. Peter, James and John were with him, and when they showed more interest in Moses and Elijah God spoke and said, “This is my Son, the Beloved; listen to him!"
This past Sunday was also Youth Sunday, and as usual our youth did an excellent job leading us in worship. For the sermon several youth shared stories about how they have seen God as we remember how the disciples encountered God’s presence when Jesus was transfigured. The texts below give is perspective as to how earth shaking it is to encounter God, especially the passages from Exodus and Job. Hebrews and Timothy remind us of the uniqueness of God’s presence in Jesus Christ. How is the story of Jesus’ transfiguration connected to God’s appearance at Sinai in Exodus 19? What stories do we have about encountering God? I invite you to share them here by clicking the “comment” link at the end of the post.
