Saturday of the Second Week in Lent
A DAZZLING REVELATION

Mark 9:2-8 (New International Version)
The Transfiguration
2 After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. 3 His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. 4 And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus.
5 Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." 6 (He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.)
7 Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them and a voice came from the cloud: "This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!"
8 Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.

Mountains in the Old Testament are often associated with special spiritual encounters. The awesome display of God’s power that accompanied the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai comes to mind, as well as the fiery triumph of Yahweh on Mount Carmel when Elijah vanquished the prophets of Baal. These were unforgettable episodes from Israel’s history.

Peter, James and John had an unforgettable mountain top experience too. Right after Jesus spoken on His impending sufferings and the cost of discipleship (Mk *:31-32a,34f), He led them up a mountain. They saw Jesus transformed conversing with Moses and Elijah in a cloud reminiscent of Yahweh’s revelation on Sinai.

It was a terrifying yet reassuring vision. It was as if a veil had been lifted, and they caught a glimpse of the true identity of Christ. Their soon-to-be crucified master was in truth the glorious Lord attested to by Moses and Elijah, representing the Law and the Prophets (i.e., the entire Hebrew Scriptures).

Despite not knowing what to say, Peter said something anyway! His offer to build three tents was just about as silly as trying to catch smoke with a fishing net. In what amounted to putting Jesus on par with Moses and Elijah, he seemed to have missed the point of the dazzling revelation completely.

Beyond the visionary encounter, we hear the Father’s voice affirming Jesus as His beloved Son summoning to listen to Him. He is the Word of the Father. Listen to Him. In Him we come face to face when the truth about God, about ourselves and about all of reality. Through Him we have forgiveness of sins and access to new and eternal life. We do well to listen to Him. Will we?
Commitment:
With God’s help, I seek to build my life upon the Word of the Father and listen to the Son of God at all time.

Prayer:
Lord, fill my heart with the brilliance of your glorious presence, and may my ears be ever attentive to your voice. Amen.
