In our Gospel today Jesus’ command to take up a cross is a clear response to Peter’s rebuke of him for speaking openly about his death. Poor Peter! His words of reassurance to Jesus were rebuked. This rebuke is a stark reminder to us all that to be true followers of Jesus we need to take up our cross and follow him.

Canon Andrew Gough helps us begin our journey through the gospels this Lent. Each session encourages us to listen to the stories of the scriptures and then think about our own stories and how we came know Christ in the WHEN, HOW, PEOPLE, PLACES and EVENTS of our lives. Today we are encouraged to ‘COME AND SEE’ and meet the people of the gospels where they are on thier journey.

Serious Athletes prepare diligently, professional actors rehearse painstakingly, good teachers do thier homework meticulously. Today we focus on Jesus preparing for his mission by going into the desert. It is also a time for Christians to renew thier lives, take stock, and to prepare through self-examination to become more effective witnesses to the Christ who will die and rise again for us at the end of these forty days of lent.

Today is ASH WEDNESDAY. For Christians, this day starts the beginning of the church season we call LENT which will take us to Easter. The 40 days of Lent reminds us that like the people of the Old Testament we do not always follow Gods ways and we need to say sorry and ask God’s forgiveness and refocus our lives on following him again. The imposition of ash on this day reminds us physically that we should be penitent and look again at our lives and follow Christ.

The theme of this Sunday’s Liturgy is the Transfiguration of Jesus on the mountaintop with three of his disciples. The disciples wanted it to last for ever. The spiritual mountaintop experiences prepare us for the valleys to come. But it’s really the valleys that shape our faith, renew our faith, and build up our faith. Because it’s only in the valley that we learn that the same Jesus who is Lord on the mountains, is also Lord in the valleys.

Jesus changed the situation at the wedding feast in Cana from disastrous shame for the couple to them being remembered for the best wine ever. He didn’t have to do it – but he saw it as a way of revealing God’s Glory. Jesus transforms our lives too, again, not so that we become “better” but so that God’s glory can be revealed in each of us.

The liturgy today encourages us to think about what it means to be a follower of Christ. Philip introduced his friend Nathaniel to meet Jesus. Philip’s invitation to ‘come and see’ and meeting Jesus was the beginning of his journey as a disciple. We are all encouraged to invite others to ‘come and see’ and in so doing to meet Jesus.
