Have you ever had a moment that changed the way you saw someone forever?
Today is the Christian festival of the Transfiguration. It remembers a remarkable moment when Jesus took three of his closest friends up a mountain. As they prayed, they saw him in a completely new way—radiant with light and glory—and they heard a voice saying, "This is my Son... listen to him."
Whether you have a strong faith or are simply curious about Christianity, this story invites us to ask an important question: Who is Jesus?
For Christians, the Transfiguration is a reminder that, even in the middle of life's ordinary routines and struggles, there is something extraordinary about Jesus. It also reminds us that moments of wonder aren't meant to be kept to ourselves. The disciples had to leave the mountain and return to everyday life, carrying with them a new sense of hope and purpose.
Perhaps we all need those moments from time to time—moments that help us see life differently, renew our hope, or remind us of what really matters.
As we go about today, may we look for glimpses of light in unexpected places, listen a little more carefully, and be people who bring hope, kindness and peace to those around us
