It reminds me of a conversation that I once had with a friend who is a fan of comic books. Even those who are not Christian want this world.
We certainly live in a world that wants to believe there is more, that wants to believe that the supernatural can break through, and reveal itself to us in miraculous ways. And through his writings, like The Chronicles of Narnia and Mere Christianity, he has convinced many to believe in the truth of Christianity. And he went on to write many famous books about this great truth of the gospel of our Lord. Lewis, as a result of this conversation, became a Christian. Tolkien said to his doubtful friend that night, the gospel is the greatest fairy tale, the greatest myth, ever told. Now – what if it were all true?! You see, J.R.R. A world rescued by a great Savior, who sacrifices himself for everyone, and then is raised in glory. Lewis had long been an atheist, but was now moving toward belief in some kind of God.Īnd one night, Tolkien said something like this to his good friend: Imagine the greatest fairy tale or myth ever told. And they were good friends who talked about many things. They both shared an interest in fairy tales and myths, the great stories of old, told in cultures around the world. Lewis had a good friend, another very famous writer, named J.R.R. Lewis, who wrote some wonderful books about the Christian faith, but who started out as an avowed atheist. But believing that it is true, that all of it is true, can change the course of a person’s life. I mean, transfigured? And seen talking with two people who had died centuries earlier? And a voice from heaven? It would be easy to question this story, and to wonder if it really is true.
But there are some in our world who question it. I believe that it is true, of course, and many – if not all – of you believe it, too. Tabor about 2,000 years ago and he really was transfigured before them and he really did talk with Moses and Elijah and that Peter, James, and John really did hear a voice from heaven say, “ This is my Son, the Beloved listen to him!” To believe that Jesus really did take Peter, James, and John up Mt. Of all the miracles recorded in the gospels, the miracle of the transfiguration might be the most difficult one to believe, to really believe that it actually, historically happened. And he was transfigured before them Mark 9:2
