On a high mountain, three friends get to see Jesus shining with the glory He had all along.
Today's Story
Jesus took three of His closest friends — Peter, James, and John — up a high mountain. And there, something astonishing happened.
Right in front of them, Jesus changed! His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became dazzling white, bright as light. The disciples were seeing Jesus' glory — the shining beauty of who He really is.
Then two great heroes from long ago appeared — Moses and Elijah — talking with Jesus! Peter was so amazed he hardly knew what to say.
Suddenly a bright cloud covered them, and a voice spoke from the cloud — the voice of God the Father: “This is my Son, and I love Him. I am very pleased with Him. Listen to Him!”
The disciples were so amazed they fell to the ground. But Jesus came and gently touched them. “Get up,” He said. “Don't be afraid.” When they looked up, only Jesus was there.
