Matthew 17: 2 While these followers watched him, Jesus was changed. His face became bright like the sun, and his clothes became white as light.
Next Jesus talks with Elijah and Moses. The verses indicate that John the Baptist was Elijah. What a strange thing to happen! Peter offers to put up shelters for them, but then God speaks. When the disciples rise, Jesus is alone.
I was struck by the image of Jesus bathed in holy light. He is with the disciples, but he isn't really one of them. That's hard for them, and me, to understand. Fully human and fully God at the same time....
Prayer: Help me to understand Your nature, Lord. I want to be a good follower, but I am not always able to comprehend. Guide me to understand and to follow You more perfectly.
Amen
