Our gospel reading today is Luke, chapter 9, verses 28 through 36. This is Luke’s story of the Transfiguration of Jesus. When Jesus took Peter, John, and James up a mountain. When Jesus’ appearance was changed, and his clothes became brilliantly white; when Moses and Elijah appeared beside Jesus; when a voice from heaven spoke in a cloud. This story also appears in Matthew and Mark, but Luke makes a few subtle changes. You have probably heard this story almost every year, just before the beginning of Lent, because that is Transfiguration of the Lord Sunday, in the liturgical year. This is an amazing tale of glory and fear and clouds and a voice from heaven.
