[Grem] nagyböjt 2. vasárnapja igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today’s Gospel presents the Transfiguration of Christ. What is
the Transfiguration itself? Mark speaks literally of a metamorphosis, of
going beyond the form that he had. If I can use Paul’s language, it is “the
knowledge of the glory of God on the face of Jesus Christ.” In and through
his humble humanity, his divinity shines forth. The proximity of his
divinity in no way compromises the integrity of his humanity, but rather
makes it shine in greater beauty. This is the New Testament version of the
burning bush.The Jesus who is both divine and human is the Jesus who is
evangelically compelling. If he is only divine, then he doesn’t touch us;
if he is only human, then he can’t save us. His splendor consists in the
coming together of the two natures, without mixing, mingling, or
confusion.This same Jesus then accompanies his disciples back down the
mountain and walks with them in the ordinary rhythms of their lives. This
is the Christ who wants to reign as Lord of our lives in every detail. If
we forget about this dimension, then Jesus becomes a distant memory, a
figure from the past. *
