When you see the glory of God, it changes you. How can it not? When Moses saw the glory of God, his face glowed with a reflection of the glory of God until that glory faded. When the disciples saw the glory of God in the face of the transfigured Jesus, they were filled with boldness and shameless audacity when they finally understood what had happened. This weekend, we will see the glory of God in the face of Jesus and it will change us. How can it not?
This weekend we celebrate and remember the transfiguration of Jesus and as we do we will be transfigured too. Yes, “we all…are being transformed (transfigured!) into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:18).
