Behold God's Promise

In our last devotion, we heard why Jesus took Peter, James and John to witness as He was transfigured before them.  If it was simply to see Jesus revealed to them in glory, the glory that was His from all eternity, the could have waited.  After all, the day would come when the rest of the disciples would also Jesus in glory.  And so will you and I. But on this occasion, as the time would soon come for Jesus to suffer and die on the cross, it was important for them to realize that this would not be the result of unforeseen events.  This would help them look back, and witness the unfolding of God’s eternal plan.  And now, they would behold, God’s Promise.
