Thank You Heavenly Father for loving and caring for us. Your promise of salvation fulfilled through Your Son Jesus Christ who came to give us life, guide and lead us home to You.
We remain in awe of the wonder of our Lord’s Transfiguration, of which much was revealed to us. Your love, word and laws written unto our hearts. A glimpse of the divine glory of the life in which we are destined for. And Your loving invitation spoken that we may hear.
Let us not pitch tents but make haste leaving behind all that is useless, our inertia and our sinful ways. Let the light of our Saviour Jesus Christ transform us and dispel the darkness of our souls. Let us go down from the Holy mountain, bringing the light of Christ to all so that they too can experience a transformed and wonderful life in Christ. Amen

Matthew 17:1–9
Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother, John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them; his face shone like the sun and his clothes became white as light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, conversing with him. Then Peter said to Jesus in reply, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud cast a shadow over them, then from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” When the disciples heard this, they fell prostrate and were very much afraid. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Rise, and do not be afraid.” And when the disciples raised their eyes, they saw no one else but Jesus alone.
As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, “Do not tell the vision to anyone until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”
