Today's podcast for 'Reading Luke in Lent' looks at Luke, Chapter 9: 28-62.
In Luke’s Gospel Jesus prays before significant events. Mountains carry the resonance of Moses’ climbing Mount Sinai to speak with God where his appearance will be altered and glow. Through various small details, not only is Jesus’ appearance altered his clothes are dazzling, Luke shows that Jesus is greater than Moses and Elijah, that he is the fulfilment of the Law and the Prophets, that is the scriptures.
'Reading Luke in Lent' is a series of simple podcasts for the Lenten season offering a daily reading from St Luke - covering the Gospel from start to finish - from Ash Wednesday to the first week of Easter.
