Matthew chapter 17, verses 1 and 2.

And after six days, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, his brother,

and led them up a high mountain by themselves.

And he was transfigured before them.

And his face shone like the sun and his clothes became white as light can you imagine being a part of that scene a going

with Jesus up a high mountain, nobody else around, and all of the sudden, seeing Jesus

transfigured, his face shining like the sun, his clothes becoming white as light. And there shows up Moses and Elijah in the next verse

talking with him. Like what a scene, what a perspective that Peter and James and John just got of Jesus. His face shining like the sun is

closed. White is light. And as I read these verses, I'm just filled with hope because there's coming a day when you and I, all who have trusted in Jesus put our faith in him, are going to see him.

His face shining like the sun, his clothes in pure white. This is our hope. I look around

at everything going on in the world right now. And I long for the day when Revelation 22 we will see his face when Jesus the judge of all the earth

will make all things right and he will make all things new and there will be no more sin

and no more sorrow and no more suffering and no more pain

in the light of His holy presence. So in prayer right now together, Lord Jesus, we just pray and

a fresh way come quickly.

Jesus, we long to be free from sorrow and pain and hurt and weariness and discouragement.

We long to be free from strife and division and hatred and injustice and evil and wickedness.

Jesus, we longed to you so we fix our eyes on you right now.

Think 2 Corinthians 318, beholding the glory of the Lord.

We were being transformed from one degree of glory to another, so Jesus, we pray that as we

fix our eyes on you, that you would make us look more like you.
