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 face was altered, and his clothing became dazzling white. And behold, two men were talking with him, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. The path to the falls was well marked - actually it was a boardwalk through the forest. There was no getting lost on this path and even though the woods were dark and deep we knew that when we got to the end there would be beautiful vista before us.
Jesus knew where he was going when he departed the mountain of transfiguration, the path was laid out before him. He knew what lay ahead. It was time to depart from the mountain for his final journey to Jerusalem to complete the task for which he had come. He knew he his path would go through darkness. And down the mountain he departed, for you and me. I invite you to depart on a journey to the cross during the season of Lent that begins this week. Spend more time with Christ thinking about what he accomplished for you and me on the cross. Bow your head to him, knowing that you have been made worthy by his sacrifice of love. Prayer Jesus Our Lord Bring us to a deeper knowledge of your love for us as we walk with you to the cross. Make this season of Lent a time of being with you on the mountain and then departing the mountain to serve you. Amen
