Transfiguration

As residents of Warren County, New Jersey, we are blessed to live in communities that are filled with opportunities to get out in God’s creation and enjoy the natural world. From the White Lake Natural Resource Center to Mount Tammany, Sunfish Pond, Worthington Forest, and all the places in and around the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, our options abound. And that’s not to mention our own meditation path right off the glen on our own church’s property.

Maybe you’re like me, and you find yourself not taking enough advantage of these areas, but when you do, what do you discover? I know that when I draw away from my life and into nature, I can more readily draw into the presence of God, and see things in a way that I hadn’t seen them before – even see things that I didn’t see before.

This Sunday, as we come to the end of the season of Epiphany, Jesus has one more thing that he needs to reveal to his disciples and to us: his true divinity. And to do that, he decides to take them on a little walk in the wilderness up a high mountain. What is revealed will change their understanding of him forever.

How does your understanding of Jesus change when you consider his fully human and fully divine nature? How do you see him and hear him in a new way? Join us for worship this Sunday as we consider all the ways this Mountaintop Experience of Transfiguration leaves us and the disciples wanting to stay and understand more.
