Prayer: Help us to see you, O Lord. Amen.
Reading: Exodus 24:12-18 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: Our Gospel reading for this Sunday is the Transfiguration. It is one of my favorite stories in the Bible. This story foreshadows what will happen when Jesus and his disciples go up the mountain and Jesus is revealed to them. I’ve been studying up on my Ten Commandments for a series I am going to do at my church for Lent. Reading about Moses going up to get the law has been intriguing. When I read this passage, I was struck by the fact that Moses was on the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights. Imagine being in God’s presence that long. It must have been quite a mountaintop experience for Moses. What are some of the mountaintop experiences you have witnessed? Where do you see God when you are on the top? Where do you see God in the valleys of life? As we think about Jesus being revealed this week, may we always look around us- up, down, left, and right, to see where God is in our lives. It will make every day a mountaintop experience. –Chad Hershberger
