God, by His coming to this world in Jesus Christ, has brought transformation. He starts by transforming us that He may transform the world through us.
As we are called to conversion during this season of Lent, so Abram was called to go out from his home to a new place God would show Him. Abram trusted himself to God, Who granted Him a vision that he would be made great in all the Earth, the father of a vast people through whom God would bless the world.
Jesus led three of His closest disciples up a mountain, where He gave them a glimpse of His Heavenly Glory that He would attain following His Resurrection. It was a glimpse that would strengthen them as they faced difficulties ahead, especially at the Crucifixion of Jesus.
It gives us strength to endure the journey as we follow the way of Christ through the Cross to the Glory of New Life, giving us the courage to turn from our own ways to abiding in the way of God, keeping close to Him. He unites us with Himself while doing a marvelous work in all the world, by transforming us to follow His ways, seeing as He sees.
