Matthew Chapter 17

I’ve often been fascinated by the greek workd “metamorphe” which is translated “transfiguration.” I wouldn’t guess that it has to do with “metamorphosis” the change of the shape, but there seems to be some major change, some revelation about who Jesus is. I have, in past sermons, used butterfly as a metaphor. It reminds me, in part, of Nabakov’s work on them.

“We are all butterflies” could be a sermon. A bad one.
