Letting Go And New Beginnings

Sermon
Transfiguration Sunday - B
Mark 9:2-9
Richard E. Gribble, CSC
Sermons on the Gospel Readings
Series II, Cycle B
It had been an exhausting climb up the mountain. The blue sky and the shimmering hot sun were beautiful, but they had made the climb more difficult as sweat trickled down his back and into his eyes. The baggage he carried on the climb was becoming a great hardship; in fact its weight forced him to stop. He could climb no further. Overwhelmed with the task, the weary traveler placed the baggage aside and rested. After easing the baggage to the ground he rested against the side of a tree, allowing the cool and refreshing breeze to blow over him.

Wilton Lewis stood with his hands on his hips, studying the sanctuary wall, not trusting himself to speak. He wanted to spit, was thwarted by the fact that he was inside, and instead swallowed hard and said, “This is vile. Disgusting and vile.” He turned to his right and added, “I apologize, Reverend Cashmore. This does not represent the good people of Port William. You know that, I hope.”

Since Albert Einstein is considered the genius above all geniuses, he is often credited quotes he never said. (If Einstein said it, it must be true.) That includes the saying that insanity is defined as doing the same thing again and again and expecting to get a different result. Actually, it wasn't until the 1980's that he was first connected to that saying, but it doesn't matter who actually said it, because these three scriptures seem to validate the saying.

“Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you....” (v. 27)

Good morning boys and girls,

First thing I want to say is, I love you little ones. Know why? I just love to give love and to receive love. How many of you know how to hug? (children respond)

Love and hugs are about the same aren't they? (children respond)

Well this morning I'm going to talk about love.

The greatest sermon Jesus ever preached shocked the people. He told them who to love.

Seven years ago, our family moved from southern Virginia to northeast Wisconsin. As you might expect, spring comes later here. Fall comes earlier. And winter is a much different experience in northeast Wisconsin than it was in southern Virginia. The same temperatures that seemed bone-chilling in Virginia are good reason to leave the mufflers and mittens at home in Wisconsin. Of course, many of the retired folks in my congregation here take their cue from the geese and fly south for the winter each year.
