Jesus' Transfiguration | Luke 9:28-36
On the mountain where Jesus is "transfigured", the disciples are reassured that Jesus is worth following. We get a glimpse of His heavenly glory and fuller identity! We see that Jesus is fulfilling His people's destiny. And we hear divine affirmation that Jesus is indeed God's chosen agent in the world. Our only response - which is commanded, no less! - is to listen to Jesus' teaching. As we continue to walk through the "journey" section of Luke (9:51-19:27), contemplating its deep challenges to live differently with our lives centred on Jesus, let us (1) remember who Jesus is, and (2) "listen to Him" - trust what he says is true, and follow His commands.
