Message from the Pastor Welcome to St. Ambrose ! We are so glad you are able to join us today to celebrate the Transfiguration of the Lord. EYEWITNESSES: Today, the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, is a day of eyewitness accounts. The first, a vision reported by the prophet Daniel, was well known to Jesus and his apostles. The vision account was written in quite mystical and figurative language. It is a vision of heaven, powerful and memorable. There are flames of fire, burning wheels, the Ancient One, and a Son of Man. Clearly, Daniel saw something. But was it a dream? Was it real? Was it merely a clever myth?

Peter wants no such confusion about his vision! We are told in Matthew’s Gospel what he and his friends James and John saw when they went up on the mountain with Jesus one day. Jesus warned the three witnesses to tell no one until “the Son of Man has been raised from the dead” (Matthew 17:9). Lest readers of one of the Gospels discount the story or simply write it off as a pious myth, Peter gives his own account of the Transfiguration of Jesus in his second letter to the church. He writes with authority, as an eyewitness. He reports this message from God concerning Jesus: “This is my Son, my beloved, with whom I am well pleased,” and he assures us that the message is “altogether reliable” (2 Peter 1:17, 19).

Have a wonderful week—stay well. Please keep me in your prayers as you all are always in mine.

Pastor’s Musing On opening his new store, a man received a bouquet of flowers. He became dismayed on reading the enclosed card, which read, “Deepest Sympathy.” While puzzling over the message, his telephone rang. It was the florist, apologizing for having sent

the wrong card. “Oh, it’s alright,” said the storekeeper. “I’m a businessman and I understand how these things can happen. But what happened to my card?” The florist paused before answering, “I accidentally sent your card to a funeral party.” Angered, the shopkeeper asked, “Well, what did it say?” The florist replied sheepishly, “’Congratulations on your new location’.”
