This week BibleWorm reads Matthew 16:24-17:8, the story of the transfiguration. We think about symbolic moments like this one, the ones that overflow with meaning, that fill your cup to overflowing, and how difficult it is for us humans to just co-exist with them without trying to grasp onto them somehow. We pull apart the different ways that the word life is used in this passage – preserving life as a focus on avoiding pain, vs preserving life as finding the strength to do what is real and godly even when it is hard … which it will be. And we wonder how we can live with a sense of urgency about the coming kingdom of God, even when the fulfillment seems to have been forestalled.
