“…and share His Story”

Jesus takes three disciples (Peter, John, and James) to the top of a Mount Tabor. While the disciples are asleep somethings mysterious happens. Moses and Elijah — these two giant figures from the Old Testament — conversing with a glorified Christ. Of course Moses the Lawgiver and Elijah the Prophet are representative figures signifying the Law and the Prophets. When Peter awakes his first impulse is to suggest that they build three memorial tabernacles on Tabor, treating Moses, Elijah, and Jesus as approximate equals. While Peter is still speaking, a cloud covers them and voice thunders, ““This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.”v35 This moment on the mountain is where Moses and Elijah find their great successor, Jesus. The whole story of the Bible has been leading to this point: the story of Jesus. Jesus is what God has to say!

In the same way, to be the church is to live into the truth of Mount of Transfiguration: that Jesus is what God has to say. We are called and commissioned to share his story! So what does it mean to share the story Jesus? How do we do this? How can we — like Moses and Elijah— find our story pointing to the story of Jesus?
