"Ascending the Mountain with Jesus: Reading Rules for Ruled Readers"

Luke 9:28-36

1 | The Transfiguration of Christ (Luke 9:28-36)

2 | The Meaning of the Text (Luke 9:28-36)

3 | Reading Rules for Ruled Readers

• Rule 1 - Attend to the text as a ruled reader, summoned to hear and do the Word of the Lord in faith.
• Rule 2 - Read with the end in mind: to see the glory of the triune God in the face of Jesus Christ, shining throughout the pages of Holy Scripture.
• Rule 3 - Remember the grand story and where you are reading, seeking to sense the christological pressure of the Bible.
• Rule 4 - Work to read the way the words go, so that what is heard is the voice of the Author/author, not your preferences.
• Rule 5 - Approach the text in humility, that is, in dependent prayer and in the communion of the saints.
• Rule 6 - Commit to leave the text transfigured, reflecting and radiating the glory of Christ, bearing his image more clearly.
