"This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to Him." Matthew (chapter 17), Mark (chapter 9) and Luke (chapter 9) all describe Jesus going to the top of a mountain with Peter, James and John. They weren't alone for long, as Moses and Elijah appeared and talked with Jesus.

Why did this happen to three of Jesus' disciples and why is it still applicable for you to learn about it in the 2020s? Jesus was not just a rabbi and miracle-worker - He was also the Son of God. God spoke from heaven and put a beautiful seal of delight in His Son. Our might and our power are not enough to help us succeed as we follow God on His mission. We need His encompassing love in our lives in order to succeed and to speak a relevant message to others in our lives. As we wait upon the Lord, we know He will give us energy and hope, both for today and the future.
