Mountaintop
Friday, July 17, 2015
After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus. Matthew 17:1-3
Peter, James and John are led up a high mountain by themselves where the King of Kings was changed and revealed in all of His glory. What a mountaintop experience! I can't fathom what they felt and tried to grasp. Like the worship song says, "I can only imagine."
Come out from them and be separate says the Lord... (2 Corinthians 6:17a)
For me to serve is to be called out to be different; to feel these mountaintop experiences that reveal the glory of God in everything. This is the goal I strive for each day.
Did you see the snow-capped mountaintop that God showed us this evening!
Glorious!!!
Fresh Find: Fun tent!
eter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!”
6 When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. 7 But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.” 8 When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.
9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”
