Transfiguration is a fanciful story placed in the Gospel of Mark between Jesus baptism and crucifixion. It is a hint of what is to come, yet an affirmation that our glimpses of glory should drive us right down the mountain into the valleys of the shadow of death to minister in the midst of suffering - armed with the hope or resurrection. As we enter Lent this week we do so knowing the end of the story is Easter life.

God is the God of second chances. Those of us called are grateful that God sticks with us, that God is faithful even when we are not. The key to discipleship is not our perfection but God's love for us. No matter how many times we mess up God continues to stick with us, ever calling us to new life and faithful discipleship.

Epiphany is a testimony to revelation -- particularly the revelation of God's love in Jesus Christ. This passage reveals ways of seeing that are unusual - through signs - in the stars and in dreams, the benefits of crossing boundaries of nation, culture and religion, and risk taking. Like the wise men, when we approach Christ with curiosity and devotion, we are prompted to give gifts and see in him the light that enlightens everything.

It is not our worship, midweek devotional booklets or sermons that best prepare us for incarnation but our immersion in incarnational ministry -- those opportunities that bring us in close proximity to the redemptive power of God in our world and in this season.
