Moving At The Speed Of Light
Second Lesson Sermons For Advent/Christmas/Epiphany
Peter went to the mountain with Jesus. And what happened there was of such magnitude that decades after the resurrection, it still was of bedrock importance to Peter's witness for Christ. We know the story. Peter and James and John went with Jesus up to a high place, apart from the others. And while they were there Jesus' appearance before them changed. They saw him stand with Moses and Elijah. As Matthew describes, "His face shown like the sun, and his garments became white as light." Peter offered to make shelters for each one, for Moses, for Elijah, and for Jesus.
