LISTEN TO HIM!

Do you want Jesus Christ to shine brighter in your life?

The answer is in what we call "The Transfiguration."

I happen to be looking in Matthew chapter 17 in the NLT

"... Jesus took Peter and the two brother, 

James and John, and led them up a high

mountain to be alone." (v.1)

Step 1: Get alone with Jesus.

You will remember that Jesus was Transformed

right before their very eyes and begin talking to

Moses and Elijah.

Wow! Talking with the very man that God used

to start the Jewish religion.  And also the man 

that God used to draw Israel back to God.

So, Peter wanted to do something.

"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.'"  (v.5)

God the Father spoke.  He did to want the 

disciples to do something or even listen to

Mose or Elijah.  He wanted them to listen

to Jesus.

"And when they looked up, Moses and

Elijah wee gone, and they saw only

Jesus." (v.8)

Step 2: LISTEN TO JESUS.

Not; Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Wesley,

James Armenous, St. Augustine, Francis of Assisi,

John Knox or some "Theorylogian."

BUT ONLY JESUS.
