Transfiguration (Mark 9:2-9)

Jesus went from fun, miraculous Jesus, to a darker, more sinister Jesus just six days ago. Peter, James, and John were still trying to make sense of all that when they saw this amazing sight on the mountaintop. What they would learn was that it’s sacrifice that transforms us from who we were to who we are designed to be. Crowds feed our egos, but crosses save our souls, and well-fed egos may be celebrated in certain circles in this life, but not in the Kingdom of Heaven.
