This week our reading comes from Matthew 17:1-9
Have you ever noticed how many important things happen on mountains in the Bible? Mountain-top experiences are what they are commonly referred to. The most dramatic example is the appearance of God on Mount Sinai, first to Moses at the burning bush in Exodus 3, then later to the nation when the law was given, accompanied by such terrifying physical phenomena as fire, darkness, storms, and thunder. It was so frightening that even Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.”
And so it is that we come to the Mount of Transfiguration, the location of what was undoubtedly a mountain-top experience. But what mountain? We do not really know for certain where the transfiguration took place; the likely site may be Mount Miron, between Caesarea Philippi and Capernaum. What we do know is that Jesus went up the mountain with his disciples to pray, and while he was praying, he was changed. “His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light.” A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to Him! Now, as we stand back and look up to the same summit, and in the grandeur of the mountains and troops of stars, we can be reminded that never before or since has there been such a prayer meeting on this earth of ours.
