Matthew 17:1-9- "The Light Has Changed: Transfixed on the Transfiguration"

Synopsis:

Transfiguration marks the conclusion of Epiphany. The Light of the World made flesh changes before the disciples’ very eyes as they see Jesus fully revealed as the Son of God, the who about whom the law (Represented by Moses’ appearance) and the prophets (Represented by Elijah’s appearance) spoke and testified. The Transfiguration is a strange, surprising moment where we finally fully realize the epiphany that things are not always what they seem–the poor, Jewish Palestinian day laborer Jesus is, in fact, the Son of the Living God and the fulfillment of the promise to make one human family from old Abraham and Sarah. The transfiguration is the spotlight of God’s Epiphany on the Eternal Christ made flesh, just before we turn our eyes up the Lenten road to Crucifixion as light turns once again to darkness.
