5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!"
Matthew 17:5
In the midst of this series where we are looking at the actual words of Jesus as reported by the 4 apostles, we find here the actual voice of God confirming His relationship to Jesus of Nazareth. The glory and the power of what Peter, James and John had just witnessed and heard with their own ears was so magnificent and so pure and so holy that they could hardly bear it as they fell to their knees trembling with fear. We don’t hear the direct voice of God much in the New Testament instead it comes from Jesus as the conduit of His guidance and direction. However, in this passage we do hear Him and it is very interesting to contemplate the words that God has spoken. Do you know Jesus? Are you listening to Him? Do you even take the time to listen and to communicate with the Son of God who loves you more than you could ever imagine and who wants only the very best for your life? Take some time to listen to what Jesus is saying to you this morning as there is nothing more important today than to hear His call on your life and to obey.
