Transfiguration of Our Lord / Last Sunday after Epiphany, Year B
Scriptures:
2 Kings 2:1-12 Elijah taken up to heaven and succeeded by Elisha
Psalm 50:1-6 Out of Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth in glory. (Ps. 50:2)
2 Corinthians 4:3-6 God’s light seen clearly in the face of Christ
Mark 9:2-9 Revelation of Christ as God’s beloved Son
Key verse:
For it is the God who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. ~ 2 Corinthians 4:6
Questions to ponder:
1. How does the good news of the gospel of Jesus placed in your heart this week lead you to experience God’s goodness?
2. Based on your understanding, why did Jesus order his disciples to tell no one about what they had seen until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead in Mark 9?
3. Based on your answer to the 2nd question, how does the story in Mark 9 help us see God’s work in our lives?
Prayer: O, eternal God, your everlasting life-giving presence in our life gives us meaning and purpose. We praise you. We glorify you. And we give thanks to you. May we see joy in the lives of your people who put their trust in you day by day. Amen.
