Scripture of the Week
Matthew 17:1-9
After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of
James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured
before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the
light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with
Jesus.
Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I
will put up three shelters-one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah."
While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice
from the cloud said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.
Listen to him!"
When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground,
terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. "Get up," he said. "Don't be
afraid." When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.
As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them,
"Don't tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from
the dead."
Rev. David Busker will be using this passage in his sermon entitled "Another World" on January 13, 2008 at the 8 & 10:30 am services.
