As we gather this
week...
When Jesus shone in glory on the Mount of Transfiguration, the
voice identified Him as God's only Son. What an eye-opening
revelation of God's presence! It reminds us of God's awesome
appearance to Moses and the elders on Mt. Sinai. Jesus is one with
the Father and the Holy Spirit, the triune God. We need not go to
any physical mountain to meet Him in a fearful display of His
holiness. He is with us, to be heard wherever His Word is
proclaimed and to be seen by faith in the sacraments administered
by His direction. Through them He tells us, "Here I am." We
rejoice to know His presence in grace, mercy, and
forgiveness.
