The Festival of the Transfiguration of Our Lord serves as a wonderful transition from Epiphany to Ash Wednesday and Lent.
The manifestation of the God-man at His Epiphany climaxes in majestic glory on Mount Sinai and the Mount of Transfiguration, which looks forward to the greater revelation of the Lord’s glory on the cross on Mount Calvary.

Read More1 Cor. 3:7 – “So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.” Isn’t that the truth! It’s not just true about preachers like Paul; it’s true about all of us in the Christian life. God can do such wonderful things with our feeble efforts. This is so very true of our gifts to the Lord’s work in the church. From His generous giving to us, we learn to give generously. Then the Lord blesses this response to His grace in turn, and He uses our very giving to continue to bless us in the church where we hear of His gracious generosity to us. The cycle repeats, and the Lord gives growth!

Read MoreIn Matthew’s Gospel account, Jesus tells his His disciples, “You are the light of the world.” How much light have we shined lately, compared to the energy God invests in us? While that question may – should – make us squirm a little, God’s Word today is really good news. It doesn’t say we should be light, or we must shine brighter, or God will replace us. It says we are the light of the world. It helps us to see that we who follow Jesus also brighten up the world.

Read MoreForty days after Christmas, everything changes when Jesus comes to the temple for us.
It’s forty days after Christmas. In keeping with the Torah, Mary and Joseph have brought the forty-day-old Jesus to the temple to present Him to the Lord. Big things happen on this day — more than Ground Hog’s Day and more than Super Bowl Sunday. A man waits, even into old age, for a promise by the Holy Spirit to be fulfilled: Simeon — his life will be changed forever. And eighty-four-year-old widow who spent her life in the temple, “worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day (Luke 2:37): Anna — her life will be changed forever. And Mary and Joseph — their lives will surely be changed forever. So, for you and me, and for every Christian man, woman, and child, everything will change.
