Transfiguration

Y'shua took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. And while he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white. Luke 9:28,29

This week we celebrate one of the most mysterious events of Y'shua's recorded life: the Transfiguration on the mountain, traditionally presumed to be Tabor because the event occurred near the place of the previous discussion when Y'shua questioned the disciples: 'Who do you say that I am?' and Peter answers, 'You are the Christos (Anointed) of Theo (God).' Eight days later Y'shua invited Peter, John, and James to join him in prayer which included, in the course of the event, Moses and Elijah who were already residents of a heavenly dimension. For the three disciples, it was a glimpse into eternity. For Y'shua, the event revealed his ministry, death, and resurrection which he then shared with his disciples. It is not an easy trail to follow Y'shua. We are warned that this Christos Way may require traversing difficult terrain, but imagine doing it without a guide, a trail master if you will. Along the Way, we glimpse snatches of glory -- a sunrise, or set, that takes your breath away, a mountainside of wildflowers, or a stream tumbling around boulders. In the Spiritual Sojourn, we glimpse dimensions of heartfelt insight or unconditional love transfiguring our attitudes. Shalom, Mother BE
