2nd L-Sun "TRANSFIGURATION" Lk 9.28-36 (24.02.13)

The Apostle Peter      (leader of the Christian Community of Rom
The Apostle James    ( leader of the Christian Community of Jerusalem
The Apostle John       (special friend of Jesus
Lk tells us: These three main-Apostles, they look at Jesus again and again
First: he is for them the one who has called them, the new profet of Nazareth,
         he is the firstborn son of the carpenter-family Joseph
         he is a famous healer, somehow a "stranger"...
Sec.  The Apostles are on the way do discover more...
         they see in HIM a Moses-figure:
                       ( the one who has a new name for God
                       ( the liberator of Israel out of slavery
                       (the bringer of the 10 commandments
         they see in HIM an Elijah-figure:
                       (the one who burns down the gods
                       (the one who drives the heavon by fire-horses

Such "transfiguration" is a special human capacity. Again and again we see something or somebody and we add more and more new "meanings"
into the old picture, we are on a discovery-journey...
first: we see a house         later: we make it a home
first: we see a girl             later: she becomes a gril-friend
first: we see a rose           later: we use it as a gift
first: we see a profet         later: we adore him as a "Son of God"
first: we see braed       later: we eat the "body of Christ"
first: we "see" Jahwe     later: we discover a Mystery
etc...
