Being Light 2/15/26

The Spark, Trinity Lutheran Church, Brattleboro, VT, February 15, 2026

Matthew 17:1 Jesus led them up a high mountain. There he was transfigured… his face shone like the sun and his clothes became as white as light.

They saw in Jesus the spark of the divine. We might see this as Jesus being a gateway to divine life. We all have life. Jesus says, I will show you abundant life.

I suggest that spark of the divine is within each of us. Call it our potential. No, we are not Jesus, but that spark is there. Do we live the spark?
