—Luke 9:28-36

An important sidelight of this New Testament Scripture shows us that Moses, whose temper caused God to punish him by not allowing him to enter the Promised Land, appeared with Elijah to speak with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration. God continues to love us and use us, even after we fail Him. Peter, who witnessed this, would have a similar experience later. Peter wanted to build booths to honor Jesus, Moses and Elijah. But these three were not equals. If Peter was not aware of this before, he learned it as God spoke through a cloud informing him that Jesus was His Son.
