Sermon Text: Matthew 17:1-9
That we may know the reality of your reign in the core of our being
Christ Jesus, we long for a glimpse of your dazzling glory, long for a vision of your promised reign that knocks us to our knees in awe. Most of us will not have such a moment, just as most of your first disciples did not observe your transfiguration on the mountain.
But give us eyes of faith that recognize your glory through scripture, in the world that You have created, in the faces of our faithful sisters and brothers, and in the poor with whom You so thoroughly identify.
Let us know the reality of your reign in the core of our being. Let us keep silence in the presence of that glory, at least for a while, before we burst forth in praise. Enable us to hear and obey the Voice that identifies You as beloved and pleasing Son and tells us to listen to You.
Speak to us in fresh ways today. We are listening and ready to obey. Amen.
