What if the Transfiguration occurred this morning on a nearby hill? Who would Jesus invite to be with him? What would be the impact on those chosen guests? What if you or I were one of them? Would we want to erect three tents to stay there? Would we be fortified enough to come down the hill and face the disfiguration of today's world? Would we be able to so focus on the radiant, resurrected Jesus, that we would not falter, but would confront and help ameliorate the injustice and pain of today's world, so alienated from God? We might like to think so, but Peter. who suggested the three tents, denied Jesus three times when challenged. There is a part of Peter in all of us, so before we spew forth our bravado and macho protestations, perhaps a dose of humility would bring us back to reality and force us to realize that only by Jesus can we transformed into the disciple we would like to be. Jesus, transform me at your pace and to the extent that you desire. Not my way, but your way.
