Day Eight: Secret Meeting

“Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves,” Matthew 17.1

Private means belonging to or for the use of one particular person or group of people. It is something intimate. Special.

What did Peter, James and John have that was so special to be taken to Mount Hermon, and see the glory of God transfiguring the Lord Jesus?

There were twelve disciples, nine of them became aware of His glory, but only three of them saw it.  The luminous cloud that wrapped around them was God Himself, saying: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” Matthew 17.5

There are multitudes of people that are aware of the Word of God, and therefore call themselves Christians. However, from among this multitude, how many have seen this glory transfiguring their own life?

We are sure of one thing:“...many are called, but few are chosen,” Matthew 22.14

Couldn’t it be that the few who are chosen are those who listen and obey?

In my point of view, it would be unfair if those who only listen but do not practice, see in their lives the same results as those who obey and sacrifice.

I believe that the Lord Jesus is calling us to the Mountain.

Out of so many people, isn’t it a privilege to be chosen and considered close, special?

Have you ever imagined having the same light that illuminated them also illuminate your life? The power that transfigured Jesus, transforming all of your life, not just a part of it, but 100%?

And the only condition for this to happen is OBEDIENCE, but of course, it requires SACRIFICE.
