Sorry girls, I keep forgetting to post my SOAPs! Anyway, here is today's:
S--Luke 9:28-36
O--They knew it was Moses and Elijah. Peter even refers to them as so.
A--I've never really understood why the "Transfiguration" (as we have later dubbed it) was in the bible. I've never quite understood what God could teach me through this event. Even more weird to me is the fact that Peter recognizes two people paramount to the Jewish faith, but whom he has likely never seen pictures of :) How did he know who they were? Did he hear Jesus call them by name? Where they in spirit form that Peter supernaturally saw, or did they come in human form?
The only piece I can find as helpful is when God speaks and calls Jesus his Son. I think that this is a key point in the Christian faith as we are often questioned about whether or not Jesus really is God's son.
P--Lord, I know that you have a reason for this passage. I know that there is something you will want to teach me someday. I pray that, in the mean time, you help me to remember that Jesus really is your son and that the implications of that fact are far more important than most lessons I could learn. Thank you for sending your son.
