And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone.
Luke 9:36a
God the Father had just approved, once again, the authority, power, and person of His Son, Jesus. Peter, James, and John were invited up on a mountain top for a prayer meeting with Jesus. And as Jesus prayed, He changed in appearance and His clothing began glowing white hot with the Shekinah glory of God Himself.
As the disciples awoke from their sleep (like us, they were less than diligent in prayer), they saw Moses and Elijah beside their Master as He was completely transformed. Just as Peter suggested they build some tents for Moses, Elijah, and Jesus to dwell in, God the Father overshadowed them in a cloud and spoke: “This is my Son, my Chosen One: listen to Him!”
With that command ringing in the air, suddenly everything returned to normal. And in the awed silence, Jesus, alone, was understood by these three men for Who He is in a stunning new way. The wonder and power of our Savior, known by us now in glimpses, will one day be known everywhere, glorious, always with us! Jesus alone, right now, and forever, is all we need. Listen to Him!
