We find a busy Jesus in Mark Chapter 8, he feed thousands from a few loafs and fishes, he healed a blind man at Bethsaida, Peter, declares him the Messiah, Jesus foretells his death on the cross and challenges his disciples saying: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.”
Six days later in Mark Chapter 9, Jesus Peter, James, and John go up a high mountain. There he was transfigured before them, his clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them, Elijah, and Moses, appear to talk with Jesus.
The voice of God comes from a cloud saying “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!”
Transfiguration is defined as a complete change of form or appearance into a more beautiful or spiritual state. Jesus as holy, pure, complete, and busy as he was still able to be transformed to a more beautiful and a more spiritual state.
Like Jesus the chapters of our lives are busy, work, children, meetings, travel, concerns about our health and so much more that take our time our attention and our energy. God is telling us to listen to Jesus, for Jesus understands the busyness of our lives, Jesus understands the hunger we face, the blindness we experience, and the crosses we must bear.
Despite all these things going on, Jesus offers us Transfiguration. The complete change our appearance into a more beautiful or spiritual state. Let us follow the voice of God and listen to His Son.
