Matthew chapter 17 verses 4 through 6 and Peter said to Jesus,

Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here.

One for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah. He was still speaking when behold,

a bright cloud overshadowed them and a voice from the cloud said,

this is my beloved son with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him. When the disciples heard this,

they fell on their faces and were terrified. There is so much here. This story of the transfiguration

in Matthew chapter 17 is Jesus leads Peter and James and John up on a high mountain by themselves

and Jesus's transfigured before them is face shining like the sun, his clothes become white

as light and Peter and James and John get a glimpse into the glory of Jesus in a whole new way.

And Peter speaks up instead of just standing in awe. Peter says, it's good that we're here.

Lord, I'll make three tents. One for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah because Jesus is

talking with Moses and Elijah. It says in verse 3 and that's when the voice of God, the Father,

booms from heaven and says, this is my beloved son. This is not someone who's on the same plane

as Moses or Elijah. This is my son with whom I am well pleased. Be quiet and listen to him.

And when the disciples heard that, they were terrified and they fell on their faces. Again,

there's so much here, but I just want to encourage you today and lead us to pray today with this

thought in mind. It is good to sit in quiet and gaze on, contemplate, worship Jesus in all of his

glory. It is good to set aside time amidst the busyness of our lives and the busyness of the world

around us, just a pause and a Psalm 46 kind of way to be still and consider his glory and just

listen to him by his spirit, speaking to our hearts and opening our eyes to who he is, to fall

on our faces. I don't know if you do this regularly, but I want to encourage you to do this regularly,
