Look forward to the Transfiguration Of Our Lord
Exodus 34:29–35; 2 Peter 1:16–21; Matthew 17:1–9
Jesus Is Transfigured and Manifests His Glory
The Lord appeared to Moses in the light of the burning bush (Ex. 3:1–14). Later Moses’ face would shine with the light of God’s glory when he came down from Mount Sinai (Ex. 34:29–35). At the Transfiguration, Moses and Elijah appeared with the One who is the Light of Light Himself (Matt. 17:1–9). Jesus’ glory as God shines with brilliant splendor in and through His human nature. By this epiphany, our Lord confirmed the prophetic word (2 Pet. 1:16–21), revealing that He is the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets. He manifested His majesty as the eternal Son of the Father, and He wonderfully foreshowed our adoption as sons (Collect). We who have been baptized into Christ’s body are given a glimpse of the glory that we will share with Him in the resurrection on the Last Day.

Life Thought: Third Sunday after the Epiphany – The thread of repentance runs through today’s readings. That seems appropriate for today is the 39th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion in our country. Since then, over 54 million babies have been destroyed. We could stand in our churches and call the country to repentance. But perhaps repentance needs to start with us, the Church, for allowing it to happen and so many of us remaining so silent ever since. God be merciful to us for Jesus’ sake.
Life Quote: “‘It is settled law,’ [columnist Paul] Greenberg said, quoting defenders of legal abortion. ‘Another generation,’ though, he reminded us, ‘was told Dred Scott v. Sandford was settled law.’ But, Greenberg protested, ‘no good cause is forever lost.’ Because, he added, ‘no cause is forever won in this world. It’s the nature of politics.’ It’s the nature of life.” From a column by Kathryn Jean Lopez, editor-at-large, National Review Online – A “Life Quote” from Lutherans For Life · www.lutheransforlife.org
