The transformation of Jesus gives us the courage to accept him and our authentic characters A Reflection for the Feast of the transformation of the Lord also from the pall came a voice that said, " This is my chosen Son; hear to him." After the voice had spoken, Jesus was set upalone. They fell silent and did not at that timetell anyone what they had seen.In moment's philosophy, Jesus comes out to his dearest musketeers. It's a profoundly particular, intimate and vulnerable disclosure that Jesus makes on the Mount of Transfiguration. What a honor it's for us that the Gospel pens have allowed us into this private space in their lives with Jesus. Jesus leads three of his closest musketeers up a mountain to supplicate and reveals to them who he really is. This is the moment where they witnessed the outside and inward metamorphosis of their friend. The pessimists and further athletic among us, may chalk up the " glowing " appearance they report to the sweat pouring from Jesus ' pores after a steep mountain rise. His appearance changes because he's in a place that accords with who he unnaturally is, and his musketeers are now privy to this. From this place of fuller tone- acceptance, Jesus reveals another verity about himself; he's eventually suitable to expose his father's will in a familiar way. The votaries would have incontinently honored them and understood the significance of their presence at the sides of Jesus. They hear as Jesus speaks with Moses and Elijah about his own outpour that's to come, his passion and death. At this moment, " Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep." We can interpret this apprehension and discomfort with reality, maybe, from what Peter says " It's good that we are then." On the one hand, Peter must have been in admiration of what he would seen while they were soliciting. He wanted to stay in that place and delight the time he would with his friend. But we want to save the present for a little longer. While it's always good to be in a good place, we know good effects come to an end. There they have direct contact with God, who says " This is my chosen Son; hear to him." It's a call that shapes the purpose of every religionist. It's the heart of God, speaking to the heart of Jesus ' votaries, and inviting them to seek God with their regard. With this intimate God- given knowledge, they now have the courage to move on." They fell silent, " the Gospel pens reveal. God had chosen them not only as companions to Jesus but to reveal to them that they, too, were created in that same image and were, thus, the begotten and cherished of God. So, too, are we; the cherished, begotten and chosen of God.
