The big show is very impressive - pillars of fire, towers of cloud, brilliant lights. But the razzle-dazzle may keep us from hearing the simple message. Follow Moses up the mountain and join Jesus' disciples at the Transfiguration to see if you can hear the simple message.
It is a spectacular sight when God descends upon the mountaintop and Moses enters the presence of God. The spectacle is about something much simpler for God's people who will soon be on their own.
Jesus, too, ascends the mountaintop with Peter and the Zebedee brothers. A fantastic show ensues, complete with cameos by Moses and Elijah no less! But the whole shebang is all about a simple message. Hint: it gets delivered with an exclamation point.
Check out the sermon video below and see if you saw beyond the fire and smoke, the glitter and the luminous and heard the simple message.
