On Top of Mount Tabor—focusing on Transfiguration

 

In the Gospel story, Jesus takes his disciples up to the top of Mount Tabor, and is transfigured, 

They hear God speaking through the clouds, they see their friend with Moses and Elijah on either side, so  they want  to build three tents —or tabernacles—one for Jesus, one for Moses, one for Elijah.  He told 

Them to get going home. They do.  And build a community who listen to Jesus and do his work.

So thousands of years later, on Mount Tabor, a church is built with three altars/tabernacles—for Jesus, Moses and Elijah. Is it time to go back home, listen, and build a living tabernacle who listen better?
