Luke 9:28-36

At the Transfiguration we get to see the reality that Jesus is true God. He shines with the glory of God and together with Moses and Elijah they discuss His "departure," which is to say His coming death on the cross, resurrection, and ascension.

Below is a hymn about the Transfiguration from "The Lutheran Songbird Project." Check out this video and maybe some of the other videos from "The Lutheran Songbird Project" too.

Luke 24:36-52 45  Then  he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,   46  and said to them,  “Thus  it is written,  that the Christ should suffer and on the third day  rise from the dead,   47  and that  repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed  in his name  to all nations,  beginning from Jerusalem.   48  You are witnesses of these things.   49  And behold, I am sending  the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you  are clothed with  power  from on high.” The work of Jesus was complete...kind of. The work necessary for the redemption of mankind was complete. The work necessary for the forgiveness of sins was complete. But making the good news known to the world was not yet done. Jesus was now sending His disciples into the world to spread the good news. He was sending them to make know that there is salvation from sin, ...

Genesis 28:10-22 The Lord God stood at the top of the ladder/stairway and Jacob was at the bottom, while angels went up and down the ladder/stairway.  But what is the stairway? Jesus answers that question in John 1:51. And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” Jesus is the way to heaven! He is the one through whom we have access to God and by whom God comes to us and blesses us.

Luke 4:16-30 The people couldn't believe what they were hearing. When Jesus said that the prophecy of Isaiah was fulfilled that very day through Him, they became angry with Him.  Just who did He think He was? But it wasn't about who He thought He was, but rather who He knew He was: the very Son of God. The people wanted Jesus to do a miracle to prove Himself to them, but He refused.  The Word of God is enough, they wouldn't get an extra sign. There are times when we would like a sign from God too, but God hasn't promised such signs. What He has promised is that He will be with us and speak to us through His Word. Jesus had come to announce that the Kingdom of God was present, but the people of Nazareth rejected Him, His message, and so remained outside of His gracious kingdom.  In the Lord's prayer we pray that this would not be the case for us. Thy kingdom come. What does this mean?  The kingdom of God certainly comes by itself without our prayer, bu...
