Evening: Psalm 89:19-52; Matthew 17:1-13
The Gospels are full of astounding things that happen to Jesus and his disciples or are done by them. Here on the mountain, Jesus’ face shines and his whole appearance becomes dazzling white; a voice speaks from a cloud to affirm Jesus, who then goes on to predict that he must suffer. It’s all pretty overwhelming. JK Rowling’s Harry Potter goes through similar astounding things and a few trials. Given sales of the Bible and Harry Potter, we are hungry for astonishment and enchantment. There is indeed much in our world to astonish and enchant us, if we pay attention.
