Six days after Jesus tells of His Death, Burial and Resurrection. Jesus takes Peter, James and John up into a high mountain. There they will see something no one else will have the privilege to see. Mark 9:2 (KJV) And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured (Changed in form) before them. I’m convinced that God reveals Himself to His children who seek after Him without the crowd. Here we read of three men who God revealed something that no one else was to see, hear and be a part of. Peter had no words to say
Mark 9:6 (KJV) For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid. But he must have thought he had to say something so he spoke out saying
Mark 9:5 (KJV) And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. This reminds me of the kid in class who doesn’t know what to say when the Sunday School teacher asks a question. So he holds up his hand and says GOD! Which isn’t the answer but it’s a safe answer. When you don’t know what to say it’s best to not say anything. Jesus didn’t take these three men there to get their thoughts or opinion. Have you ever just been alone with The Lord and He shows You something from His Word. I mean He speaks to you personally just as He did with these men. Have you, maybe later that day tried to explain what the Lord showed you to encourage someone else? Did you notice that with all the excitement and enthusiasm when telling about it their response was little or no response at all? Why is that? It is because The Lord took You to the mountain top and just like these disciples it was a time just for you. These mountain top moments don’t happen everyday nor do they happen to everybody. But for those who spend time with the Lord they will enjoy such moments and times.
Proverbs 2:4 (KJV) If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
Proverbs 2:5 (KJV) Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. If thou seekest then shalt thou understand.
