When one of the greatest moment in history unfolded, the three disciples that JESUS took along with HIM to witness were fast asleep.They could have missed it, but GOD by HIS grace woke them up.They must have been in awe when they woke up witnessing JESUS in all HIS glory. Moses in the Old Testament longed to see this glory, but he was hidden behind a cleft of the rock when GOD’s glory passed by as man being a sinner couldn’t see GOD and live. But here since CHRIST took human form and transfigured they were able to witness HIS glory. How amazing is our GOD that HE took the lowliest of form to reveal HIS glory to us. This glorious and perfect SON of the heavenly FATHER has been given as a random for the lives of HIS elect. Peter was quick to come up with suggestions when he witnessed it, he wanted to be up there in the mountains with the three with tents built for them, but that would have definitely not been part of GOD’S plan, cuz Moses and Elijah had just spoken about JESUS’ journey to Jerusalem. If HE had stayed up there, it wouldn’t have been fulfilled. We may sometime come up with so called genius ideas like Peter, and focus on ourselves. When we do this we desire less when GOD desires to give us more. Peter desired for the presence in the mountains while GOD desired to live within HIS elect forever!! When GOD wakes us up from our spiritual sleep to witness HIS glory, listen to HIS SON as the FATHER said, for JESUS is HIS beloved SON who has been given to wretched people like us for HIS glory and our good!!
