First Cary UMC's First on Chatham Sermon "Here for the Transfiguration” – Rev. Kollin Absher-Baer – Sunday, March 2, 2025
Scripture: Luke 9:28-36
In both the fullness of divinity and humanity, the presence of God is with us. In Luke 9, we encounter God through the presence of Jesus amidst the transfiguration. On a mountaintop, humanity and divinity clearly meet. Glimmering. During this encounter with the radiant Jesus, his disciples, Peter, James, and John recognize the importance of their own presence saying, “It is good for us to be here.” What does it mean for us to be in the presence of Christ, in both the fullness of divinity and humanity? May we find ourselves answering this question, ready to be here for it knowing that God is here for us too.
