Transfiguration
... the biggest Epiphany of
all
Now
about eight days after these sayings Jesus took with him Peter and John and
James, and went up on the mountain to pray. And while he was praying, the
appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white. Suddenly
they saw two men, Moses and Elijah, talking to him. They appeared in glory and
were speaking of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
Now Peter and his companions were weighed down with sleep; but since they had
stayed awake, they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him. Just as
they were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be
here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for
Elijah” — not knowing what he said. While he was saying this, a cloud came and
overshadowed them; and they were terrified as they entered the cloud. Then from
the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!”
When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and in
those days told no one any of the things they had seen.

Since, then, we have such a hope,
we act with great boldness, not like Moses, who put a veil over his face to keep
the people of Israel from gazing at the end of the glory that was being set
aside. But their minds were hardened. Indeed, to this very day, when they hear
the reading of the old covenant, that same veil is still there, since only in
Christ is it set aside. Indeed, to this very day whenever Moses is read, a veil
lies over their minds; but when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. Now
the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though
reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree
of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit.
We have renounced the shameful
things that one hides; we refuse to practice cunning or to falsify God’s word;
but by the open statement of the truth we commend ourselves to the conscience of
everyone in the sight of God.
