On this Feast of the Transfiguration of Jesus, Paul’s 2nd letter to the church in Corinth (chapter 4) connects our faith and our role in the world and the spread of the gospel to that amazing event on the mountaintop where Jesus is joined by Elijah and Moses, shining with the glory of God:

5For we do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus’ sake. 6For it is the God who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness’, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Proclaim Jesus y’all. Proclaim him as Lord. God has already overcome the darkness.
