The Chosen One (Transfiguration Day)

This sermon on Hebrews 3:1-6 and Luke 9:28–36 draws a powerful parallel between the Israelites' desert wanderings and our own life struggles. It acknowledges the weariness of enduring trials, the feeling of endless waiting for a "Promised Land." The Transfiguration offers a crucial shift in perspective: hope isn't just about escaping the wilderness, but encountering Christ within it. Jesus, both divine and human, understands our burdens. He's not just a distant promise, but a present companion. We're called to "listen to Him," to find strength in His forgiveness and presence. True hope embraces the cross, knowing Christ leads the way, transforming us into God's dwelling place, even amidst the desert's harshness, as we wait for the Promised Land.
