This Sunday we commemorate the Transfiguration of our Lord - that wonderful account of Jesus' meeting with Moses and Elijah on the mountaintop, in the presence of Peter and James and John.As we hear this reading we may well ponder the temptation Jesus must have faced to step straight off that mountain and into heaven. But He didn't. Instead He chose to come back down the mountain and to journey on the Jerusalem and the cross.
Jesus' willingness to come down from the mountain to serve you and me provides great encouragement for us in our daily walk. Not simply because it shows that He walks with us, but most especially because it reveals the extent of His saving love for us.
Divine Service will begin at 8.30am and will be followed by our congregational AGM.
The Lord Jesus be with you,
Pastor Matt
