Rev. Dr. Libby Grammer will preach a sermon entitled, “Back Down the Mountain”
Jesus’s transfiguration, happening just before Jesus’s road to the cross, is the utmost “mountaintop experience” of God’s power and glory. The disciples are understandably overwhelmed and changed by this experience. Coming down the mountain, they had much to think about in their new and God-given mission from Jesus.
Today is the Last Sunday After Epiphany—known as Transfiguration Sunday. The Season of Epiphany calls attention to the words and deeds of Jesus’ earthly ministry by which his divine sonship is made manifest. This last Sunday is the Transfiguration of the Lord, in which Christ’s divine sonship is reaffirmed. The liturgical color for today is white, recalling Jesus’ appearance in glorious splendor.
