Hidden Treasures and Undiscovered Truths

Thank you for your prayers concerning my friend. I will continue to update you from time to time on him. A couple of days ago I was reading the bible. I had nothing in particular that I wanted to read I just started reading where it opened. It was Matthew 17 and I read something that I have never noticed before. I have never heard a message on it nor have I ever heard anyone mention it. It talks about the transfiguration of Jesus. Y'all take a look.

1 Six days later Jesus took* with Him Peter and James and John his brother, and led* them up on a high mountain by themselves. 2 And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light. 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. 4 Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, I will make three tabernacles here, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah." 5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, "This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!" 6 When the disciples heard this, they fell face down to the ground and were terrified. 7 And Jesus came to them and touched them and said, "Get up, and do not be afraid." 8 And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus Himself alone. 9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."
Matt 17:1-9 (NASB)


How cool is this; Moses and Elijah appeared and were just hanging out with Jesus, and then God spoke to Peter, James, and John. I don't know how I have never noticed this, well primarily because I read sometimes and don't retain, but anyway I just wanted to share it with you. Praise the Lord that the Bible is alive and every time I pick it up I find something new. When is the last time you have picked up your Bible and went exploring? It is like a Indiana Jones film, it is never boring!

Have a Blessed Day!!!
