God's Answer to Life's Up and Down

The Transfiguration of Jesus is God's assurance to Jesus that no matter what happens, God is on his side.  It also is firm evidence that God is on our side.  This is according to God's will for us in creation as recorded for us in Genesis. This is according to God's will for us because of the Incarnation of Jesus by the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary.  This is according to the will of God for us as revealed by Jesus on the cross of Calvary when he pleaded with the Father, and when he submitted to the Father's will.  This is according to the will of God witnessed by the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead.  Jesus is the first fruit of those who fall asleep in full communion with the Christian Church.  The program today will look at how we can plot our course through life's ups and downs with full confidence in God's good will for us, especially for those who through Jesus have faith in God.
