At the Transfiguration
It was as if Jesus said, “Now I will remove my humanity and show you my…Reality. This is Who I Am…This is Me. ”
How slowly Earth-Time must have dragged by for God in the Flesh. All of His Splendor crammed into a decaying body of His own creation.
I wonder if Jesus knew his Transfiguration was going to happen, or if in a moment of unbelievable passion, he allowed himself to share his True Self with his beloved friends. “I love you guys SO much, I just have to give you a peek into Me”.
Moses and Elijah must have come to protect and preserve Him, encouraging him in those moments, sharing their own strength and passion regarding his Mission to earth. I can feel their focus as they zeroed in on their Revealed Master, ignoring the effect their appearing had on the three men.
So many thoughts.
My fascination with the Transfiguration of Jesus came clearer to me while I was reading about it. The same Aramaic word for Transfiguration is used in both the passages about the event and in Romans 12:2, change me into a new person by changing the way I think. My self-declared Life Verse, if there is such a thing.
