Glory On The Mountain

Mark 9:2-4 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.

Why Moses and Elijah? Moses was the great lawgiver and Elijah was the first and greatest of the prophets. These men have come to encourage the Lamb of God as He draws closer to Calvary.  

When Jesus appeared in glory on that mountain, He was showing us that at His will He could leave time and move back into eternity. He didn’t have to go to the cross. He willingly laid down His life because He loved sinners, John 10:17-18. Thank God!

We have our valleys, our hardships, our sufferings, our sicknesses and our problems; but I praise God for the mountain tops of life where we are allowed to see His glory and His power.

His glory is seen in answered prayer ---  in His peace and presence --- in times of profound, personal worship --- and countless other ways.
