Vision New

Send us Fan MailIt is Transfiguration Day again. It marks the beginning of the Lenten season now close.There is much in Matthew’s telling of the extraordinary events experienced by some rather overwhelmed disciples. One thing I notice this time around that it is a day of vision.Peter, James and John are privy to a moment of expanded magnificent vision of how things really are when God pull back the curtain on our very limited view of our lives – even just for one stunning moment.The vison given is about who we are and what we are here for. The vision is for Christians of all time as it was for just those three and even for Jesus himself.He and they would need this vision of past, present and future love and life in God. They are about to go down that hill to a dark Jerusalem. They will need every memory of this fear and wonder and joy they got to experience before all the intense, hard experienced coming their way.Vision does that for you. It tells you are God’s loved man or woman. It shows you that you are never alone. But in fact, part of a large global timeless family and it points you to task.And the only way to receive this vision of light and new light for any darkness is via listening – listening to the Son; the crucified, risen and ruling Son.I pray you can listen to him today and regain that vision for who you are and what you are here for as you live this journey of light no matter how dark things get.Pastor Adrian
