Covenant with God

Called into Covenant with God

God's Covenant with Israel 

Luke 9:28-36 The Message

Jesus in His Glory

28-31 About eight days after saying this, he climbed the mountain to pray, taking Peter, John, and James along. While he was in prayer, the appearance of his face changed and his clothes became blinding white. At once two men were there talking with him. They turned out to be Moses and Elijah—and what a glorious appearance they made! They talked over his exodus, the one Jesus was about to complete in Jerusalem.
32-33 Meanwhile, Peter and those with him were slumped over in sleep. When they came to, rubbing their eyes, they saw Jesus in his glory and the two men standing with him. When Moses and Elijah had left, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, this is a great moment! Let’s build three memorials: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” He blurted this out without thinking.
34-35 While he was babbling on like this, a light-radiant cloud enveloped them. As they found themselves buried in the cloud, they became deeply aware of God. Then there was a voice out of the cloud: “This is my Son, the Chosen! Listen to him.”
36 When the sound of the voice died away, they saw Jesus there alone. They were speechless. And they continued speechless, said not one thing to anyone during those days of what they had seen.

For Reflection Pray

In Deuteronomy God appears in a cloud. Here, God appears in human form.  The unseen God, the god whos countenance is so brilliant that to gaze upon God or just to seek a quick glance would be to invite death, assumes a form that is visible, approachable, and the source of all life. To know Christ, to touch His robe, to follow his example is to invite God to inhabit your soul so that in knowing you, others could be reborn into the household of God.

Pray

Pray so that God's light-radiant cloud envelops you in the holy armor of righteousness.
