On this blinding winter day, Matt Skinner reflects on the brightness of the Transfiguration—how Jesus’s face shone, his clothes gleamed, and the cloud radiated light. Even in dark times, truth breaks through and illuminates God’s nearness to us.

Sometimes we encounter moments when we see clearly, when truth is revealed. The disciples trusted what they witnessed on that mountain. They told the story.

What are you seeing? What truth is God illuminating for you?

Trust your eyes. Tell what you see.
