Words From the Brothers: Transfigured in Hope – Lent Week Two
In this second week of Lent, Luis Arce reflects on the Transfiguration of Christ in Matthew 17 and the call not only to behold Christ’s glory, but to be transformed by it. Just as Jesus was transfigured before his disciples, Scripture tells us that we too are being transformed “from one degree of glory to another” as we gaze upon the Lord.
Moving through Romans 3–5, this episode explores the heart of the Gospel: all have sinned, yet all are justified freely by grace through faith in Christ. Abraham stands before us as a model of unwavering trust—believing God’s promises even when they seemed impossible. And in Christ, the new Adam, the power of sin is reversed and hope is restored.
Even suffering is not wasted. Through faith, endurance forms character, character forms hope, and hope does not disappoint—because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit. Join us as we continue the Lenten journey, asking the Lord to transform our weakness, strengthen our faith, and draw us more deeply into his glory.
