mountain top

"Six days later Jesus took Peter and the two brothers, James and John, and led them up a high mountain to be alone."  (Matthew 17:1  NLT

What do you think of when you see, or hear, "mountain top"?  Being able to see Rainier or Denali?  Actually being able to get UP the hill (or down again which I think is harder)?  Or maybe a wonderful retreat experience? Maybe a special family time?  We are preparing to start into Lent - Ash Wednesday is tomorrow - so maybe a "mountain top" can be a personal experience feeling God's presence and guidance through all the changes happening around us.

This Scripture, from this last Sunday, is Jesus taking 3 disciples with him "up a high mountain" where they see Jesus transformed in front of them.  They also see Moses and Elijah AND hear the voice of God (v. 5).  Then, on the way back "down" Jesus asks them NOT to say anything "until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."  (v. 9)  The wonderful news is.... Jesus HAS risen from the dead so WE can tell people where we have seen and felt God with us.

So...... when are you sharing God's presence?  What are you telling others?  Are you inviting them to join you?  Something to think about............
