“We Share in His Glory” Mark 9 2-9

This week we remember the Transfiguration of Christ.  As Jesus gets closer to His crucifixion, He is led up a mountain where He meets Moses and Elijah and discusses His death.  While the apostles watch, He is transfigured before them, and glows dazzlingly white.
For a brief moment, Christ’s true glory shined through, that people might see Him as He is.  But the glory that belongs to Jesus never truly fades; and that glory is shared with us, for we are His Body on this earth.  No one can deny that there is a glory about those who know Jesus and are called to His work in this world.  And yet, the glory that shines in us a Christians pales in comparison to the glory that will be ours in the life to come.
