Sermon for February 19, 2023 + 10 AM
Pastor Jenna Bergeson
Trinity Lutheran Church & Schools
Pastor Jenna unpacks the significance of Transfiguration as a bridge between Christmas/Epiphany and Lent/Easter, the moment when God reveals Godself in the person of Jesus, in a flash of light on the mountaintop: "listen to him."
++++++++++++++++++
Transfiguration of Our Lord
++++++++++++++++++
Today’s festival is a bridge between the Advent-Christmas-Epiphany cycle that comes to a close today and the Lent-Easter cycle that begins in several days. On a high mountain Jesus is revealed as God’s beloved Son, echoing the words at his baptism. This vision of glory sustains us as Jesus faces his impending death in Jerusalem. We turn this week to Ash Wednesday and our yearly baptismal journey from Lent to Easter. Some churches put aside the alleluia at the conclusion of today’s liturgy. This word of joy will be omitted during the penitential season of Lent and will be sung again at Easter.
