All throughout the Bible God kept coming down to meet with us on mountain tops. All throughout the Bible the themes of glory and God and mountains keep showing up.

So it’s no wonder that Jesus, in today’s passage, would go up onto a mountain.

Here Jesus climbed up the mountain with these 3 men, specifically to pray. If there was ever a man who didn’t need to pray, it was Jesus. But we see Him praying all the time .And while He was praying the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening!

This isn’t an illumination of Jesus from the outside of Him. This isn’t His skin reflecting outward fire like Moses’ did. This is the manifestation of Jesus from inside of Him!

And He wants us to come to terms with Who He is!

This means we listen to Him. And to listen to Him: we See him, we Savor Him, We Obey Him.
