Scripture: “This is My Son, My Chosen One; listen to Him!” (Luke 9:35, ESV)
On the mountain, Peter, James, and John witnessed something extraordinary—Jesus, radiant in glory, speaking with Moses and Elijah. It was a moment of divine revelation, confirming that Jesus is not just a great teacher or prophet, but the very Son of God.
Peter, caught up in the moment, wanted to build shelters and remain there. But God had a different plan. A cloud descended, and His voice declared the most important truth: “This is My Son, My Chosen One; listen to Him!”
Peter lifted his head, his hands trembling. Jesus stood alone. Moses and Elijah had vanished. The brilliance had faded, but something had changed.
Peter didn’t need to speak. He knew now, more than ever, that Jesus was not just a great teacher. He was not just a miracle-worker. He was God’s own Son. The One they needed to listen to, the One they were to follow. After this incredible experience, the disciples come down from the mountain. They don’t stay in the glory—they return to the work of ministry.
Like them, we are called to take what we learn in God’s presence and bring it into our daily lives. The Transfiguration reminds us that Jesus is not only the suffering servant who would go to the cross—He is also the glorified King who reigns forever.
Let’s listen to Him, trust Him, and follow Him—both in the mountaintop moments and in the valleys of life.
Prayer:
Lord, open my ears to hear Your voice. Help me to listen to Jesus above all else and follow Him faithfully, whether I am on the mountaintop or in the valley. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
