Your Faith Journey - Finding God Through Words, Song And Praise

Last Tuesday at our noon Bible Study, when we were talking about this gospel reading, Elaine Harrison mentioned that the “dazzling white” description of Jesus’ clothing stuck out as we read today’s passage.   These words made her think of the multiple Tide Ad commercials shown during the Super Bowl last Sunday.  The ads were quite funny as each showed brilliant white clothing which supposedly had been washed in Tide.  While this was very humorous, and we had a good laugh because of it, I think there is a connection to what is really happening in this passage.   You see, the gospel writer is telling a story that says something about the dazzling light of God’s presence shining through to us and around us as we daily live our lives.  It is a light we often do not see as we go about the ordinariness of daily life. When we look at all that is happening in the world around us, I have a feeling many of us tend to ask, “Where is God in all of this?”  We live in a culture in which we think God is out there somewhere.
