Listen "06 - Transfiguration"
Episode Synopsis
Kirk Reflections 11th February 2024.
Rev Erick du Toit brings this week's reflection from Kirkliston Parish Church, Scotland.
TRANSGIFURATION
“After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them.”
(Mark 9: 2-9)
MOUNTAINS & TENTS & REST & NAPPINGSourced from 'iamsimkins' (Instagram) Sometimes the 'walls' we hit are boundaries to abide by...Often the walls we hit are holding up a ceiling.If you don't take a break, eventually you just break.
In a culture consumed with production and performance, rest is warfare.
In Genesis, Adam & Eve’s first full day was not a day of work. It
was a day of rest. That order is significant. That means we work from rest, not rest from work.Rest in not a reward. It’s a gift.You were not created for a life you don’t have time for.If we only speak of ‘work ethic’ but never ‘rest ethic’ an imbalance is inevitable.In both music and life the difference between a song and noise is rest.
Sometimes the holiest thing we can do is take a nap…
