While Peter was Weary...

His Teacher Was Glorified

The capenter's son who went on the mountain to pray began showing the form of deity. This is God's Son! His face was altered and His robe becoame white and glistening. It was a spiritual presence where He was oined in conversateion by men of yesterday, Moses and Ejijah. Peter, you do not want to miss this. Your Teacher is tryly very special. When he fully woke up, he saw Jesus in His gory. He saw the men with Him. He recognized who they were. He had an idea. On the surface, it appeared to be a god idea. However his idea revealed he still did not grasp who His Teacher really was. The voice of God, coming from a cloud, is about to make clear just who this Teacher really is.

His Teacher Was Magnified

"This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!" The words were very similar to the words of the Father as He sent His Son off to begin His eartly ministry. But, this time there was one addition. This time the Father added, "Hear Him!" Peter needed to hear those words. Peter had been raised on the words of Moses, the lawgiver. The Father makes clear that His Son brings new words, new law with His coplete approval. The one who was wrapped in swaddling clothes and placed in a manger in a barn because there was no room in the inn is being magnified and identified by the creator of the universe. You don't need to sleep through these kinds of moments.
