Changed By God To Make A Difference For God

The Transfiguration is one of those "wow" moments in the Gospel witness. But sometimes we can miss the most important message in this particular passage from Luke's Gospel. Jesus is shown in glory, and is surrounded by the glory of his Father in the cloud. From that cloud comes a voice from his Father: "This is my Son, My Chosen; Listen to Him!" Both of what Jesus says and does are of benefit to us as we realize he is the true Son of God, and is literally God among us. It is our hope that we can find our true and ultimate healing in this Transfigured One, the Word made flesh, by just his simple words. There is no darkness that can ever contain the magnificent light of his glory, and he delights in glorifying himself in his people. Check out what else Terry has to say and see what you think.
