Peaks and Presence

In this powerful exploration of Matthew 17, Marcus dives deep into the Transfiguration of Jesus, a pivotal moment that echoes the glory of Mount Sinai. We're challenged to see how this event isn't just a strange intermission in Jesus' story, but a deliberate echo of God's covenant with Israel and a glimpse into the future of His kingdom. The parallels drawn between Moses on Sinai and Jesus on the mountain are striking, reminding us that Jesus is the fulfillment of the law and the prophets. This message invites us to contemplate the overwhelming glory of God and how, through Jesus, that once-fatal glory has become approachable for us. We're called to respond to this reality with worship and obedience, recognizing that if Jesus truly is 'the hurricane become human,' our lives must revolve entirely around Him. This insight challenges us to move beyond merely hearing about Jesus to truly listening and obeying with our whole being.
