· What an amazing time that must have been for these three men! Just imagine being in their place; invited by Jesus to come apart from those around them, and to witness his transformation from mortal man to God in the flesh. It had to have been the most empowering, encouraging, life-changing moment a person could ever have. No matter what they faced in their future, no matter what opposition they would face concerning their faith, they would have this moment as a powerful marker etched into their hearts and minds. If only we could have such an experience with God, maybe we would be more confident in our own walk of faith. This is the reality we have; we may not go up on a high mountain with Jesus, but we have been invited to come away with him and to experience his presence for our lives. We have a savior who says to each of us that we can step away from the crowd and spend time in reflection and relationship with him. We can be amazed at the words of wisdom he speaks into our spirit, and we can be empowered by those words, and by the relationship he offers. He is willing to enable us to become people who will always walk in confidence that we are not alone on our journey of faith. Those who listen to the invitation to spend time apart with him and respond in obedience will always come apart made better and stronger in our faith. He is calling our name, will we go?
