The human face of God

Morning: Psalms 16, 17; Acts 28:1-6

Evening: Psalm 22; Luke 9:28-36

In the New Testament, people start to see Jesus differently. Something shifts in what he means to them. On the mountain, Peter, James and John see him transfigured; his face shines. They see him as God’s “Son”, God’s chosen one. Later, St. Paul says being “in Christ” is no longer regarding him from a human perspective ... When that happens, it is like a New Creation has begun; your world is transformed. Jesus offers and invites you into a new world ... I find him trustworthy, because I see in him what one writer calls “the human face of God.”
