Luke 9:28-36 | The Transfiguration | Matt Hemsley | March 2, 2025
In the climactic mid-point of the Gospel of Luke, Jesus goes to a mountaintop with three of his disciples. While he is praying, he is transfigured, appearing bright and white, and with him Moses and Elijah. What do we make of this strange story? It is a mystery? And yet in the Bible, mysteries beckon us to see the transcendence of God and come closer to experience him. And in the Transfiguration, Jesus is revealed as the fulfillment not only of the promises of the Law and Prophets in the Old Testament, but of the hoped re-Templing of creation–when heaven and earth meet, and God’s presence with his people is restored.
