Jesus Puts Everything Together!

Trust in Jesus!

Lenten Blessings!

Today we meditate on the Transfiguration of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Our Gospel Portion is St. Luke 9: 28-36 and we will concentrate on,

And behold, two men talked with Him, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke of His Exodus which He was to accomplish in Jerusalem. Luke 9: 30-31

The Transfiguration happened a short time before the Crucifixion of Our Lord, and it was a preparation for the scandal of the Cross. In this event we see that a new Exodus must be accomplished. It would not be through the Red Sea, but through the body of Jesus. He would take the world through Himself from slavery to freedom.  

Moses and Elijah bring together the Law (Moses) and the Prophets (Elijah), that is all of Judaism and they are fulfilled in Jesus.

Jesus brings everything together!

Everything includes our lives. As Moses and Elijah had to come to Jesus, we are called to do the same.

Freedom is found passing through Jesus! No matter what we are going through, if we bring it to the Lord, He will bring us to freedom and peace of mind.

May our lives be glorified through Him!

We Need Glorious Experiences!

The Cross Is Real and So Is the Resurrection!

As we celebrate the Second Sunday of Lent, we meditate on the Transfiguration. Let us look at Peter. We read in St. Mark’s Gospel:

And Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

Mark 9:5

Peter was having a glorious time and he wanted to hold on to the moment. He saw the Divine Nature of his Lord and Master, he also saw his heroes, Moses and Elijah. Everything made sense! Everything was beautiful!

Peter’s desire could not be fulfilled. Life does not work that way. He would have to come down from glory and experience the Passion, Cross, and Death of his Lord and Master, Jesus   He would have to experience his personal failure in the denial of his relationship with the Savior, but he would also, along with John, the beloved disciple, experience the Empty Tomb! Jesus would destroy death!

May we look at Peter and see our road too. We will have glorious experiences with our Lord and Master. We will experience also terrible things in our life journey, and because we know our Lord is God, we will get through whatever we are experiencing because we know we have the Final Victory in the Lord Jesus.
