Listen

Six days later Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and brought them to the top of a very high mountain where they were alone. He was transformed in front of them, and his clothes were amazingly bright, brighter than if they had been bleached white. Elijah and Moses appeared and were talking with Jesus.

Mark 9:2-4

Think

Can you imagine being privy to such a moment? First, you are invited to go along with Jesus with a few other friends, and you have no idea what is going to happen once you get to where you’re going. But you trust Jesus. Once you get there, Jesus is changed right in front of you. Made to look like some sort of angel and is so bright that it is hard to look at him. That in itself is a lot to understand. Then Moses and Elijah appear with Jesus. Wow! This is one heck of a party! Are you stunned into silence? Do you want to run home and tell your other friends or do the best photobomb you are capable of in that moment?

One thing is for sure, it is unbelievable and such a divine moment. You are witnessing something that only a small number of people can say they were present for. Where else in your life can you say this?

Pray

Thank you, Jesus, for trusting me with special moments with you. Help me create moments like this for those I love and care about most. Amen.

Go

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God — what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Romans 12:2 (NRSV)
