Forgiveness
The harmony of Jesus’ teaching about conflict and the role of witnesses is often noted, but there is something subtly different in today’s readings. Jesus is not instructing us to bring witnesses to testify against our “brother” who has sinned against us, but to testify to the exchange between brother and sister. This is not just about safety in numbers, but the safety of the numbers. Jesus follows this with talk about the power of agreement, saying that anything that is agreed upon by two on earth will be done for them by the Father in heaven.

Jesus instructs us to forgive others over and over again just like he does for us.

Transfiguration of Our Lord
Witnesses to the glory of God in the face of Jesus will be unable to avoid reflecting that glory in the world. It was true for Moses. It was doubtless true for Peter, James, and John. We pray that it will be true of all of us who see the glory of the Lord in the word and in the supper and who are being “transformed into the same image” by the Spirit of God.Witnesses to the glory of God in the face of Jesus will be unable to avoid reflecting that glory in the world.
