"This is my beloved Son; listen to him"

Mark 9:2-13

And after six days 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 garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller on earth could bleach them. And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus. And Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah." For he did not know what to say, for they were exceedingly afraid. And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son; listen to him." And suddenly looking around they no longer saw any one with them but Jesus only. And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of man should have risen from the dead. So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant. And they asked him, "Why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?" And he said to them, "Elijah does come first to restore all things; and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt? But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him."

Eksayted kita na hikit’an nato an himaya ni God, pero hadlok kita na kahaon kita ni Lord nan ini na mga taknaa.

An punto nako dinhi na an himaya ni God na hingkit’an nila Peter, James sanan John sa transfiguration (waya’y translation sa hinabunganon an ako kahuna-hunaan para sa transfiguration) ni Jesus, isa ka hitabo na waya ipakita Nija sa bisan sin’o rakan.

Ingka-saksihan nila an transfiguration nan pagmata na nila gikan sa pagkatuyog nan ingkadiskubrihan nila ang kahimayaan ni Jesus kaiban si Moses sanan Elijah.

Duro ‘sab an ato nahipalabay na mga kahimayaan ni God kay tuyog kita sa ato mga espiritwal na kinabuhi, tuyog kay mahamok an ato mga taghuna-huna na mga kalibutanon na problema.

Gusto ni God na ipakita gajud dato tanan an Ija glorya o an Ija himaya kay kita tanan mga disipulo man Nija, mga minahal Nija na anak.

“Lord Jesus, keep me always alert and awake to you, to your word, your action, and your daily presence in my life. Let me see your glory.”
