This past Sunday we celebrated Transfiguration Sunday. We begin Lent this week with our Shrove Tuesday Fat Tuesday pancake and sausage supper!
Pastor Jeannine spoke to the children telling them how Jesus went up to a mountain to see Moses and Elijah, taking some of the disciples with him. Jesus then took Peter, James and John up the mountain to pray. Peter did not want the day to end! Jesus’s face was transformed. Everyone was excited! Jesus however had to go down from the mountain as he knew he had to die for us on the cross, and the day had to end.
The adults learned that transfiguration was God’s answer to suffering. God cannot passively look back while we suffer. Jesus was forced to carry his own cross and die an horrific death. He was laughed at and mocked. Jesus suffered for us. When we hurt, God hurts. Through all of this, Jesus has given us faith and hope!
God told us to hear the voice of his son, his chosen, and to listen to him!
