Jesus Comes Out [Summer Series]

b'This Summer Series of the podcast is from one of our long-time listeners, Morgan. She shares why this episode is her favorite. This episode is about the Transfiguration story or Jesus\\u2019 coming out moment. How did this experience shape Jesus\\u2019 ministry and his relationship with his disciples? How does this passage give all of us permission to read our own stories into the biblical text?\\xa0\\nMark 9:2-10\\nSix days later Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and brought them to the top of a very high mountain where they were alone. He was transformed in front of them, and his clothes were amazingly bright, brighter than if they had been bleached white. Elijah and Moses appeared and were talking with Jesus. Peter reacted to all of this by saying to Jesus, \\u201cRabbi, it\\u2019s good that we\\u2019re here. Let\\u2019s make three shrines\\u2014one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.\\u201d He said this because he didn\\u2019t know how to respond, for the three of them were terrified.\\nThen a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice spoke from the cloud, \\u201cThis is my Son, whom I dearly love. Listen to him!\\u201d Suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.\\nAs they were coming down the mountain, he ordered them not to tell anyone what they had seen until after the Human One had risen from the dead. So they kept it to themselves, wondering, \\u201cWhat\\u2019s this \\u2018rising from the dead\\u2019?\\u201d\\nIf you want to support the Patreon and help keep the podcast up and running, you can learn more and pledge your support at\\xa0patreon.com/queertheology.\\nIf you\\u2019d like to be featured in future episodes, email your question or Bible passage suggestion to\\xa0connect@queertheology.com.\\n\\n \\nPhoto by Mohamed Nohassi\\nThe post Jesus Comes Out [Summer Series] appeared first on Queer Theology.'
