And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son; listen to him." – Mark 9:7 (ESV)
Yet again, we see another pivotal point for Peter. He reflects on this event later (2 Peter 1:17-18) as reason that he is a credible witness to the majesty of God. Jesus is showing Himself to be the great prophet mentioned in Exodus. But instead of being Moses or Elijah, like the people thought, He is greater than these men. Does the majesty of Jesus captivate us? Do we think of Jesus as the one who has the very words we need to live by? God certainly tells us to think this way.
