Transfiguration -- Sunday February 23, 2020 -- Preacher: Grace Pardun Alworth
HEBREW BIBLE: EXODUS 24:12-18
The leader says: The Hebrew Bible reading is from the book of Exodus.
The Lord said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain and wait there. I’ll give you the stone tablets with the instructions and the commandments that I’ve written in order to teach them.”
So Moses and his assistant Joshua got up, and Moses went up God’s mountain. Moses had said to the elders, “Wait for us here until we come back to you. Aaron and Hur will be here with you. Whoever has a legal dispute may go to them.”
Then Moses went up the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain. The Lord’s glorious presence settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. On the seventh day the Lord called to Moses from the cloud. To the Israelites, the Lord’s glorious presence looked like a blazing fire on top of the mountain. Moses entered the cloud and went up the mountain. Moses stayed on the mountain for forty days and forty nights.
The leader says: The Word of the Lord.
All respond: Thanks be to God.
PSALM: PSALM 2
The leader says: Our psalm reading is number two, and is read responsively.
The leader says: Why do the nations rant? Why do the people rave uselessly?
All respond: The earth’s rulers take their stand;
the leaders scheme together
against the Lord and
against his anointed one.
The leader says: “Come!” they say.
“We will tear off their ropes and throw off their chains!”
All respond: The one who rules in heaven laughs;
my Lord makes fun of them.
The leader says: But then God speaks to them angrily;
then he terrifies them with his fury:
All respond: “I hereby appoint my king on Zion,
my holy mountain!”
The leader says: I will announce the Lord’s decision:
All respond: He said to me, “You are my son,
today I have become your father.
The leader says: Just ask me,
and I will make the nations your possession;
the far corners of the earth will be your property.
All respond: You will smash them with an iron rod;
you will shatter them like a pottery jar.”
The leader says: So kings, wise up!
Be warned, you rulers of the earth!
All respond: Serve the Lord reverently—
trembling, kiss his feet
or else he will become angry,
and your way will be destroyed
because his anger ignites in an instant.
But all who take refuge in the Lord are truly happy!
THE GOOD NEWS: Matthew 17:1-9
Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became dazzling white. Suddenly there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him.
Then Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I will make three dwellings here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud a voice said, "This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him!"
When the disciples heard this, they fell to the ground and were overcome by fear. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, "Get up and do not be afraid." And when they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus himself alone.
As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus ordered them, "Tell no one about the vision until after the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."
