Lord Jesus Christ, you took three disciples up a mountain to see something they were not prepared to see, something no one was prepared to see. They saw you not only as a Rabbi, but as the exalted Lord of the Universe. We don’t know that we’re ready to see you in all your glory, either. We’re pretty sure that we would be confused or afraid to see you as anything besides the safe portrait we have of you that hung on our Sunday School wall. Help us to see more. The disciples were not ready for you to come down the mountain and face the cross, either. And we most certainly are not ready to accept a Gospel of suffering love, a vision of humble glory. Show us what we can handle. Show us a bit more. Change us a little more into your likeness. Amen.
