The Transfiguration is not an escape from the cross, but preparation for it. When Christ’s glory is revealed on the mountain, heaven itself speaks not of avoiding suffering, but of Jerusalem. And when terrified disciples fall to the ground, Jesus does not leave them there—He comes to them, touches them, and speaks the Gospel: “Rise, and have no fear.”
Romans 1:18–32 shows how suppressing the truth about God leads to exchanging His glory for idols—and how disordered worship results in disordered lives. Paul’s diagnosis explains cultural confusion while preparing us for the restoring exchange of the Gospel.
In Holy Baptism, God joins His Word to water to give what no human power can—new birth, forgiveness, and eternal life. This sacred act isn’t our declaration of faith but God’s gracious work, uniting us to Christ’s death and resurrection. Whether for infants or adults, Baptism is God’s promise made personal: “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved” (Mark 16:16). Discover the power and comfort of this divine gift that shapes our lives each day—“I am baptized!”
