"Peter exclaimed, 'Lord, it's wonderful
for us to be here! If you want, I'll make
three shelters as memorials - one for you,
one for Moses, and one for Elijah.'
But even as he spoke, a bright cloud
overshadowed them and a voice from the
cloud said, 'This is my dearly loved Son,
who brings me great joy. Listen to him.'
The disciples were terrified and fell face
down on the ground.
Then Jesus came over and touched them.
'Get up,' he said. 'Don't be afraid.' And
when they looked up, Moses and Elijah
were gone, and they saw only Jesus."
(Matthew 17:4-8 NLT)
There are two lessens in this for today's church.
1. We want to build. We want to do something.
But God's instructions are; "listen" - pay attention.
2. Quit paying attention to religious leaders
and see "only Jesus.".
