Jesus Shines Bright

Jesus took three of His closest friends—Peter, James, and John—up a high mountain to pray.

While they were there, something INCREDIBLE happened!

Jesus started to CHANGE! His face began to SHINE—as bright as the SUN! His clothes turned dazzling WHITE, brighter than anything they'd ever seen!

Then two men appeared, talking with Jesus. It was MOSES and ELIJAH! Two of the most important people from the Old Testament!

Peter didn't know what to say. 'Lord! This is amazing! Should I build three tents—one for You, one for Moses, one for Elijah?'

While Peter was still talking, a bright cloud covered them all. Then a VOICE came from the cloud—GOD'S voice!

'This is My Son, whom I love. I am SO pleased with Him. LISTEN TO HIM!'

The disciples fell flat on their faces, terrified!

Jesus came and touched them gently. 'Get up. Don't be afraid.'

They looked up. Moses and Elijah were gone. Only Jesus was there.

As they walked back down the mountain, Jesus told them, 'Don't tell anyone what you saw until after I rise from the dead.'

This amazing moment showed the disciples who Jesus really was—the glorious Son of God! Moses gave the Law. Elijah was a great prophet. But God said to listen to JESUS. He's the one who matters most.

Sometimes we see glimpses of how amazing Jesus truly is. One day in heaven, we'll see His glory forever!
