Text Box: MESSAGE FROM FATHER JENSON This weekend we have the Transfiguration in our Gospel reading. Jesus took Peter, James and John up the mountain and became dazzlingly bright as they beheld him. With him were Moses and Elijah, who represented the Old Testament law and the prophets. This vision was to give his apostles strength of belief in him by showing them that the one who had given them the law and inspired the prophets was standing there before them in dazzling brightness. May this vision of our Lord Jesus have the effect in our lives of strengthening our faith when it is under trial so that we can overcome any temptation or suffering. This hint of his heavenly glory should help give each of us reason to hang in close with the Lord when life tries to tear us away from him. He is truly worthy of believing in and obeying. Praised by Jesus Christ! Father Glen Jenson, Pastor
