Timing is everything. And on that mountain in that moment of
transfiguration, God is revealed. I want to yell, “Peter, stop! Don’t miss it.” And then I realize, that is because we are all so like Peter—distracted by the world and our desires to control that which we do not understand rather than bearing witness to the revelation of God all around us. The Transfiguration is about Jesus, but I cannot help but to think of Moses, Elijah, Rosa Parks,
Absalom jones, and all the giants who have borne witness to the God who is revealed here in this world.
