Imagine you are with Jesus who has invited you up a mountain by private invitation for just you and two other guys. Suddenly he lights up like the sun. Then when it’s over he says, “Don’t tell anyone until the Son of Man is raised from the dead,”

You aren’t quite sure what he meant by that, and you are committed to silence anyway, so you file it away.

Much later Jesus is crucified. You think it’s OVER. But then he RISES FROM THE DEAD! Suddenly it all makes sense. The Son of Man is HIM, and now you can talk about it!

Peter says “We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.” Then he goes on to say, “And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.”

We are called to light up this world with the love and forgiveness of Jesus. In your marriage, with your kids, in your work, in your neighborhood, LIGHT IT UP.
