Dear fellow preachers,
The lectionary texts for March 2 invite us to think about the translation of Elijah into heaven and the Transfiguration of Jesus, as well as Paul's views on the character of a changed life. It seems to us here at The Immediate Word that all these events, which remind us of how quickly and unexpectedly epiphanies occur, have a bearing on the uneasy days in which we live. With war talk and job losses and a fragile economy, our culture could use an epiphany that lays the answers on us.
