Six days later, Jesus took with him
Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart, by themselves.
And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white,
such as no one on earth could bleach them. And there appeared to them Elijah
with Moses, who were talking with Jesus. Then Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi,
it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for
Moses, and one for Elijah." He did not know what to say, for they were
terrified. Then a cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came a
voice, "This is my Son, the Beloved; listen to him!" Suddenly when
they looked around, they saw no one with them anymore, but only Jesus. Mark
9:2-10
As they were coming down the
mountain, he ordered them to tell no one about what they had seen, until after
the Son of Man had risen from the dead. So they kept the matter to themselves,
questioning what this rising from the dead could mean.
How do you imagine this scene, and
what does it mean to you?
At the end of the scene, it was just
Jesus and His disciples. His promise is that He will never leave you.
When
you are alone with Him what is He telling you?
