The transfiguration of the Lord. Mark 9:2-10
Life is a package
Life is not like a movie that we watch on the screens. When you watch a movie, you can rewind and watch the interesting parts as many times as you like and skip the part you don't like. But in life, you go through all the scenes, the good, the bad, the sweetest and the ugly. What brings us comfort is that God is in all of them. From our birth to our death, God is always with us. Jesus himself, through this event of the transfiguration, is teaching us that we must embrace all stages of our life with confidence and faith. As the Word incarnate, he is the Beloved Son of God, who fulfills all the Law and the prophets. He will suffer the passion for us, and he will rise again in glory. With the transfiguration, we now understand that Jesus is not just a servant, a preacher, a prophet but the Savior. We must listen to him and follow him. Life is a full package, and God is in all the parts.
Jesus, I trust in you
