Sermon

"Transfiguration Happens"
Mark 9:2-9
On the mountain top Jesus is transfigured before the disciples' very eyes and revealed as God's beloved son. Following Jesus down the mountain we cannot help but see where this is headed. In Mark's gospel Jesus is always headed towards Jerusalem. This mountain inevitably leads us to the mount of Golgotha, the hill outside the city where Jesus is transfigured again, this time alongside two common criminals and is lifted up on a cross transfiguring an instrument of torture into the very tree of life. Revealed as God's beloved in baptism, his death becomes ours and his resurrection life courses through our veins and in those waters we are transfigured, clothed in the dazzling white of Christ's righteousness and given the spirit that burns from the mountaintop of our hearts. Shining brightly we illuminate God's light into all the world's shadowy places. And, transfiguration happens again and again.
