The Wonder of Wonder -- Matthew 17:1-9 (Transfiguration Sunday)
•
Rev. Scott Clark
On Transfiguration Sunday, we journey up a high mountain with Peter, James, and John -- and experience with them an epiphany -- God made manifest in the midst of us. This sermon considers the experience of wonder -- as the disciples experience the dazzling humanity of Jesus: "God is so very big – God’s love for us so vast – the world so much more than we could ever comprehend. And God is near. One writer puts it this way – what we find in Jesus and in each other is 'just as much of God as a hand can hold.'”
