Questions for reflection on the sermon:
  1. Can you recall an encounter with Jesus that made you feel like you had to act? How are you transfigured when Jesus reveals himself to you?
  2. There are a few ways to interpret the Transfiguration of Jesus. For example, it reveals his heavenly self; it points to his future resurrection; and it says something about Jesus’ relationship with the Law and the prophets. What reading of this event is the most powerful for you?
  3. Why was this a private event? What might have happened if this happened in the temple in the midst of crowds?
