It is a sign between
me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven
and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. And he gave
unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two
tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God. Exodus
31:17-18
After six days Jesus
took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a
high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them. His face
shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then
there appeared before them Moses and Elijah. Matthew 17:1-3
There are some instances when you realize the truth because
it just makes sense. It must have been a very significant time in the world
when Jesus was born, because most of the world started counting the years over
again. The time before Christ counted down to his birth and the time after
Christ counted forward to our year 2018. What do atheists think about that?
Then in the Exodus verses above we have a written record of
the time of Moses when God himself wrote the Ten Commandments with his own
finger in the presence of Moses. This is not just man’s law but the law of God.
I am so happy these laws are written on the front entry of our national Hall of
Justice.
Another time in Matthew 17 we have three first hand witnesses.
Again, the Peter, James and John were on a mountain top. They saw Moses and
Elijah, from a past time alive again with a transfigured Jesus. What a truth is
portrayed when life after death is portrayed as Moses and Elijah are shown
(they lived in the 1500’s and 800’s BC). The glory is shown by Jesus’ own face.
They saw it and wrote about it.
Prayer: Oh Lord, thank you for
these circumstances to help our unbelief. Amen.
