As Christians, the Bible tells us that we have “the mind of Christ” and that His “divine nature” lives in us. Peter, without the indwelling Holy Spirit, asked Jesus to allow him to walk on the water with the Savior. It took much courage for Peter to get out of the boat and to try to walk on the water with Christ. All believers are called to be like Christ. Even when we fail, we must ask the Savior for help, and then we must be courageous enough to keep moving forward in and by faith.

God's love never fails. The healing power of God's love in Christ never fails. Today, we see the compassion of Christ as he brings healing to a blind beggar. That same compassion is with us today. He is healing our wounds. He is healing the land. We must give praise, even now.

On today, the Church celebrates the Transfiguration of Christ. The New Testament tell us that after Jesus told his disciples that he would be condemned to death in Jerusalem, he climbed Mount Tabor in the Galilee along with Peter, James and John. Once there, he was “transfigured.” What does this matter to us today? In Romans, Paul tells us that a day will come when we will be transformed in his image.
