Pista sa Pagkausab sa Dagway sa Ginoo
Paminaw sa Iningles
Gidala ni Jesus si Pedro, si Santiago, ug ang igsoon niini nga si Juan, ug gipasaka sila sa usa ka taas nga bukid nga sila-sila lamang. Ug nausab ang Iyang dagway sa ilang atubangan, ug ang Iyang mga bisti nahimong masulawong puti, nga walay tigpaputi sa panapton dinhi sa yuta nga makahimo sa pagpaputi niini sa ingon. Marcos 9:2-3
Do you see the glory of God in your life? Oftentimes this is a real struggle. We can easily become aware of all the problems we face and can focus in on them. As a result, it is often easy for us to miss seeing the glory of God in our lives. So do you see God’s glory in your life?
The feast we celebrate today is a commemoration of the fact that Jesus literally revealed His glory to three of the Apostles. He took them up a high mountain and was transfigured before them. He became dazzling white and radiant with glory. This was an important image for them to have in their minds in preparation for the very real image of the suffering and death Jesus was about to undergo.
One lesson we should take from this feast is the fact that the glory of Jesus was not lost on the Cross. Sure, His suffering and pain was made manifest at that time, but it doesn’t change the fact that His glory was still just as real while He suffered on the Cross.
The same is true in our lives. We are blessed beyond measure and God still desires to transform our souls into glorious beacons of light and grace. When He does this, we must strive to constantly see it. And when we suffer or face some Cross, we must never take our eyes off the glorious things He has done in our souls.
Pamalandongi karon ang matahom ug lawom nga pagbag-o nga gibuhat sa Diyos ug padayon Niyang gitinguhang buhaton sa imong kalag. Hibaloi nga gusto Niya nga ipunting nimo ang imong panan-aw niining himayaa ug magpabiling mapasalamaton niini hangtod sa hangtod, ilabina samtang nag-antos ka sa bisan unsang krus nga gihatag kanimo.
Lord, may I see Your glory and the glory that You have bestowed upon my own soul. May my eyes forever remain fixed on that grace. May I see You and Your glory especially in difficult times. Jesus, I trust in You.
