Mark 9:2-8
Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no one on earth could bleach them. And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, who were talking with Jesus. Then Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” He did not know what to say, for they were terrified. Then a cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came a voice, “This is my Son, the Beloved; listen to him!”Suddenly when they looked around, they saw no one with them any more, but only Jesus.
What a sight this must have been
Jesus and Elijah and Moses
with dazzling white clothing aglow
right there under their noses.
Peter tried to freeze time right there
with monuments built for each one.
Then God voice broke up the vain plan
saying, “This is my beloved son.”
Now here’s the point you must not miss
when they looked up they saw no one
except Jesus whom they should hear
and follow only God’s Son.
In our lives of following many
self-proclaimed leaders today
we should see only Jesus
and hear what he has to say.
