Week of March 1, 2021The TransfigurationOne feature of Saint Mark’s account of Jesus’s ministry is “the messianic secret,” so-called because Jesus commands people not to disclose his identity to others. In this passage, however, Jesus makes no secret of his divinity. Why is Jesus concerned about revealing his identity and mission to some, yet provides an epiphany of his Divine Personhood to Saints Peter, James, and John on Mount Tabor? The answer is likely that Jesus, knowing that the prediction of his Passion could shake the faith of his followers, gives them a glimpse of what will lie on the other side.
However, another aspect of Mark’s account of the Transfiguration on Mount Tabor is that it parallels the events on Mount Sinai in Exodus 24. The entire scene of the Transfiguration is reminiscent of when Moses received the Law on Mount Sinai.
Jesus took three disciples up Mount Tabor, just as Moses took three priests of the Old Law onto Mount Sinai. Moses led them up the mountain where the glory cloud of the Lord came down for six days with Moses being addressed on the seventh day; Mark says the Transfiguration occurred “after six days.” Because it is the prophets Moses and Elijah who appear with Jesus on the mountain, many of the Church Fathers suggest that Moses represents the Old Law, and Elijah the prophets. The appearance of Moses and Elijah is symbolic of the witness that the Law and the prophets give to Christ.
ACTION Today, Build for Tomorrow: This week the school’s major fundraising effort begins. We had a successful kick-off for it last Friday night. Thank you to Mrs. Kerry Davi and the School Board for organizing the appeal and kickoff for it. We are off to a great start and I am so grateful to all who have already supported it. The appeal runs throughout the month of March. -
