We all have bad habits. It’s tough to admit our own but quite easy to point out other’s. This week our theme is to transform our worst bad habit. It takes a long time for a repeated action to become a habit and an even longer time to break that habit. This week is the beginning of that process—a process that will eventually make us more like Christ.
The Transfiguration gives us a glimpse into our life’s journey from the past with Moses and Elijah to the present with Peter, James, and John to the future with the transfigured Jesus. The Transfiguration story is an opportunity not only to see Christ in a new light but to see ourselves as well. The 3 disciples wanted to stay there and keep it all for themselves. Jesus told them, basically, to get off the mountain and get to work—DECIDE to transform their lives.
Yes, many of us have a difficult time seeing the future, seeing Christ and us in a new light with all the day-to-day evil in the world. When storms come into our life we need to look past the storm.
