The Mountain: Part 2

"And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became white as light."
-Matthew 17:2

Can you imagine? The Lord standing right in front of you in all of his glory. He was not just standing in front of them, He was basically on fire. He had been on the earth for thirty years at this point, and He was completely changed to a blazing inferno of glory.

The magnificence came from within. This is very important, there were no types of fuel or outside material used to start this display of His glory. The power came from within. This man was all God. From within Him at any moment He could have brought about a full display of all His glory any time He wanted. He was fully God within.

This display of glory made such an impression on Peter, that his later writings are filled with portrayals of the second coming. He knew what it was going to be like, because he had seen it firsthand.

These men saw the very essence of God. There was no doubt in their minds following this event that He was God incarnate, and there should have been no doubt that one day He was going to again come in all His glory.

I cannot wait to see the greatest fireworks show in the history of the world, when Jesus Christ comes in riding on the clouds in all His glory and splendor. Friend, what a day that will be! Behold he comes...Godspeed!
