Daily Pause

Our dream for the Daily Pause is that it would be a resource for you to untangle from the demands and stresses of life and immerse in the story of God and His love for you found in Jesus.

13 And it is only right that I should keep on reminding you as long as I live. 14 For our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me that I must soon leave this earthly life, 15 so I will work hard to make sure you always remember these things after I am gone.

16 For  we were not making up clever stories when we told you about the  powerful coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We saw his majestic splendor  with our own eyes 17 when  he received honor and glory from God the Father. The voice from the  majestic glory of God said to him, “This is my dearly loved Son, who  brings me great joy.” 18 We ourselves heard that voice from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.

Our  dream for the Daily Pause is that it would be a resource for you to  untangle from the demands and stresses of life and immerse in the story  of God and His love for you found in Jesus.

28 About eight days later Jesus took Peter, John, and James up on a mountain to pray. 29 And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was transformed, and his clothes became dazzling white. 30 Suddenly, two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared and began talking with Jesus. 31 They  were glorious to see. And they were speaking about his exodus from this  world, which was about to be fulfilled in Jerusalem.

32 Peter and the others had fallen asleep. When they woke up, they saw Jesus’ glory and the two men standing with him. 33 As  Moses and Elijah were starting to leave, Peter, not even knowing what  he was saying, blurted out, “Master, it’s wonderful for us to be here!  Let’s make three shelters as memorials[a]—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 34 But even as he was saying this, a cloud overshadowed them, and terror gripped them as the cloud covered them.

35 Then a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, my Chosen One.[b] Listen to him.” 36 When the voice finished, Jesus was there alone. They didn’t tell anyone at that time what they had seen.

28 About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. 29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. 30 Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. 31 They spoke about his departure,[a] which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. 32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. 33 As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master,  it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you,  one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was  saying.)

34 While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35 A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.” 36 When  the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples  kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they  had seen.
