Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

This is a side of you I haven't seen before. We say that sometimes. Well today, in His Transfiguration, Jesus shows Peter, James, and John a side of Him they haven't seen before. Or have they? Peter, James, and John got to see the glory of the Son of God that day. But it really was a side of Jesus that He had been showing them all along by the glorious things His glory did. But the point is clear: this is not how Jesus wants to be seen or known. Not yet. So on Wednesday we enter the season of Lent. The season of Jesus' glory and its culmination on the cross.
