Devotions
Glorious!
The Transfiguration of Jesus in Matthew 17:1-13 is a powerful moment that reveals His divine glory to Peter, James, and John. It teaches us about Christ’s identity, the fulfillment of Scripture, and the transformation that comes from encountering God. Below, we explore key aspects of this passage, with reflections on how they apply to our faith today.
Trust in Him!
As evening approaches, the disciples suggest sending the people away to buy food, seeing no way to provide for such a large crowd. Jesus challenges them: “You give them something to eat.” When they focus on their lack—only five loaves and two fish—Jesus instead demonstrates abundance, blessing and multiplying the meal until everyone is satisfied.
Who do I say He is?
We see two contrasting yet deeply connected events—Jesus’ rejection in Nazareth and the death of John the Baptist. These passages highlight the reality of spiritual blindness, the consequences of rejecting truth, and the importance of standing firm in faith.
Rescue and Response
This devotion traces the journey of the Israelites from Abraham to the time they migrated to Egypt, influenced by Joseph, the son of Jacob. Joseph's story of being sold into slavery was a part of God's plan to fulfill His promise to Abraham.
