Celebrating the miracle of Transfiguration, Rev. Ruth Blum tell the story about when Moses and Elijah appear before Jesus and begin carrying on a conversation. God enveloped this group along with three disciples in a radiant cloud and he spoke, saying, “This is my Son, my Chosen. Listen to Him.” For that short period of time, Jesus was seen in ALL His majestic GLORY. The disciples stood speechless as they recognized the message that Jesus IS God. In Matthew 28:18b-20, Jesus tells the disciples and all of us to not remain speechless. “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18b-20 NRSV
