—Luke 9:28-36
by: Chris Galarneau.
Peter, John, and James got to see Jesus in His glory! Peter, inspired by the Holy Spirit, had articulated who Jesus truly was eight days before the transfiguration. He saw who Jesus truly was up on that mountain, and he heard affirmation from God the Father of the true nature of Jesus’ identity. There are not many things in life in which a person gets that kind of clarity and certainty, but Peter got it and passed it along. God commanded the Apostles, and in turn us, to listen to His Son. Jesus instructed His apostles and His followers (that includes us) on the correct way we should live—that we should be defined by love for God and for others.
