"Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them; then from the cloud came a voice, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” (Mark 9: 7).
Sunday 25th February 2024, in the 2nd Week in Lent.
In today's Gospel of the Transfiguration, Abba Father acknowledged His Son Jesus as the dearly Beloved and urged us to listen to Him always and obey Him.
What is the import of the Transfiguration in the ministry of Jesus?
"The Transfiguration gives us a foretaste of Christ's glorious coming, when he "will change our lowly body to be like his glorious body." But it also recalls that "it is through many persecutions that we must enter the kingdom of God" (CCC 556).
How do we fulfill the command of the Father to always listen to His Beloved Son?
#1. We listen to His voice in the Scriptures and obey it.
#2. When we listen to our Bishops, we listen to Jesus. “Remember this: Whoever listens to your message is actually listening to me. And anyone who rejects you is rejecting me, and not only me but the one who sent me.” (Cf Luke 10: 16 TPT).
What is your experience of listening to Jesus? What do you hear? Has what you heard impacted your life?
“So above all, constantly chase after the realm of God’s kingdom and the righteousness that proceeds from him. Then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly. (Matthew 6: 33 TPT).
When I heard the above Scripture, it burned in my heart and mind. I said to myself: This is my life Scripture.
Saints teach us that listening to Jesus and obeying Him can change our life. Don't be afraid to try.
