“Master, it is good for us to be here.” (Luke 9 : 33)

Being high up on the mountain and far away from the world’s hustle and bustle was already quite enjoyable; but for Peter, he surely had no intention of leaving the place after seeing Jesus’ brilliant Transfiguration emitting a heavenly attraction.

The purpose of Our Lord’s Transfiguration was indeed to increase the faith of the Apostles in Him when the time came for His suffering and death.

When we live in the grace of God, never be too conceited, because God might be using the joy of the here and now to support our spiritual weaknesses in the days to come.

When Jesus’ face changed back to normal, He led the Apostles down the mountain; He had to continue His journey towards Calvary.
“You must take up your cross daily and follow me.” Life is just a continual sacrifice out of love, a continual search for the power of Christ despite our weaknesses.
