Epiphany ends on Transfiguration Sunday. We have been thinking about God's incarnation and now we center on revelation. This mountain is where heaven meets earth and humans encounter the divine. This section of Scripture includes the Lord's directions to Moses and the ascent of Moses on the mountain. Then the glory of the Lord comes to the mountain, and Moses enters the cloud. Moses the mediator had a significant role as God's glory is manifested and they are given the law. It is Holy ground and they are entrusted with this covenant relationship. After the covenant ceremony there are the instructions for the tabernacle. God shows that He demands obedience (giving of the Law) but He also wants to dwell (be with) His people. We have lost much of the awe of God, the sheer utter magnificence of our Creator. As I contemplate this story of the actual presence of God, may I have a renewed sense of a limitless God in all ways.
