February 18, 2007 - The 7th Sunday after Epiphany
SERMON TITLE:
“Bewildered by the Glory of God”
Opening Prayer
Holy God, upon
the mountain you revealed the glory of our Messiah, who by His death and resurrection
would fulfill both the law and the prophets. Enlighten our path by His transfiguration, so
that we may dare to suffer with him in the service of humanity, and so share in the
everlasting glory of him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for
ever. Amen.
SCRIPTURE:
Luke 9:28-36
Now about eight days after these sayings he
took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. And as he was
praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became dazzling
white. And behold, two men talked with him, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and
spoke of his departure, which he was to accomplish at Jerusalem. Now Peter and those who
were with him were heavy with sleep, and when they wakened they saw his glory and the two
men who stood with him. And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus,
"Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one
for Moses and one for Elijah" -- not knowing what he said. As he said this, a cloud
came and overshadowed them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. And a voice
came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!" And
when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silence and told no one in
those days anything of what they had seen.
