Evening: Psalm 89:19-52; Matthew 17:1-13
I love mountaintops; I climb Mt. Snowdon in Wales when I visit my mother. It’s exhilarating up there; things seem clearer, problems small. The humdrum and mundane are a world away. It’s hard to come down. The disciples are with Jesus on the mountaintop when they realize how different he is – truth radiates from him. He could accomplish anything! But on the way down he tells them he must suffer. They hadn’t counted on that – in the bright light of their enthusiasm and plans, shadowy realities remained hidden to them. Later they learned that darkness cannot overwhelm the light.
