Devotions for 27th February 2022 – The Transfiguration
In this Episode, Maureen Burnham considers the story of the transfiguration of Christ, in Luke chapter 9, verses 28 to 36. She considers how the conference with Moses and Elijah indicated the path of suffering that Jesus must follow, and how Christians too, can radiate the joy and glory of God, but may also experience challenges and tests of endurance and trust. The reading is read by Christine Slater, and the podcast presented by Hugh Burnham. Songs are “Light of the World You stepped down into darkness”, and “Shine, Jesus Shine” (Lord the Light of your Love is Shining), numbers 175 and 59 in Singing the Faith. The podcast includes a prayer for the people of Ukraine by Barbara Easton, from the Methodist Church website. https://www.methodist.org.uk/our-faith/prayer/prayer-for-peace-in-ukraine/
