WEEKLY MEDITATION     

The Transfiguration was one of a handful of genuinely exhilarating moments in the career of Jesus. His was hardly a life of wine and roses. It was one tough existence. We have a nasty habit of confining His difficult moments to His last days. That judgment comes out of enormous naivete. Christ elected Peter, James, and John to join Him. The other nine left at the base camp must have been delighted that they had not been drafted. They were busily looking about for a shady tree, a cool breeze, and a stream in which to bathe and do laundry. No doubt they needled the three unlucky ones with the message, "Tell us about it tomorrow, fellows."The four finally got to the top about 4 PM. They had to be running on empty. Peter and his friends had one thought and that was sleep, but Jesus chose to pray. As the apostles climbed into their sleeping bags, they probably agreed that Aeach person has his own idea of a good time." Then, in the early morning hours the mountaintop exploded as though it had taken a hit from an atomic weapon. The apostles were basket cases. Their Employer "was transfigured before their eyes...His clothes as radiant as light."The next day Peter, James, and John came down that mountain jumping from rock to rock with the agility of boys. They were on a high. Their Jesus was a big winner. Their trip had been eminently worthwhile. "Lord, how good it is for us to be here!"
