There is further validation from the presence of two legendary witnesses, Moses and Elijah. (For more about the importance of two witnesses, see: <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.elca.org\/faithlens\/january-8-2016-real-fake\/\">https:\/\/blogs.elca.org\/faithlens\/january-8-2016-real-fake\/<\/a>.) The details of the scene\u2014radiance, Moses, Elijah, cloud, mountain, voice\u2014combine to present an overwhelming testimony to the unrivaled authority of Jesus, which will be reinforced after his resurrection (Matthew 28:18).<\/p>\n<p>Why now? Immediately after Peter\u2019s confession, Jesus states for the first time that he must suffer greatly and be killed. When Peter protests, Jesus scolds Peter, who goes from \u201cBlessed\u201d to \u201cSatan\u201d in only 6 verses! Peter\u2019s subsequent attempt to confine Jesus, Moses, and Elijah to permanent mountaintop glory reveals that he still doesn\u2019t get it.<\/p>\n<p>Peter is experiencing what Maya Angelou talked about. Understanding, accepting, and following Jesus is not easy. He says so many difficult things. Consider:<\/p>\n<p>+ Turn the other cheek \u2026 give your coat also \u2026 go the second mile (Matthew 5:39-41)<\/p>\n<p>+ Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you (Matthew 5:44)<\/p>\n<p>+ Do not judge (Matthew 7:1)<\/p>\n<p>+ I am sending you out like sheep into the midst of wolves (Matthew 10:16)<\/p>\n<p>+ Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me (Matthew 10:37)<\/p>\n<p>+ If any wish to come after me, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me (Matthew 16:24)<\/p>\n<p>You get the idea:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>it\u2019s crazy hard.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps that explains why the Voice from the cloud said \u201clisten to him!\u201d \u00a0The Greek verb communicates continuing action: \u201ckeep listening to him!\u201d It\u2019s not a one-and-done; it\u2019s an ongoing assignment and commitment.\u00a0Martin Luther understood this. The first of his ninety-five theses states it clearly: \u201cWhen our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, \u201cRepent,\u201d [Matt 4:17], he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At this turning point in the gospel, it\u2019s especially crucial for God to overcome Peter\u2019s selective hearing (and ours) about what being the Messiah means, so God sets off extra fireworks to get our attention. God is making sure we all get it: <i>keep listening to him! <\/i>Don\u2019t resist the cross. Don\u2019t tune Jesus out when he says what we don\u2019t want to hear. Don\u2019t quit when it gets hard. Stick with it. Stick with him. And as you struggle along the difficult way of Jesus, keep listening to one more thing he says: \u201cRejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven.\u201d (Matthew 5:12)<\/p>\n<h4><b>Discussion Questions<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>What saying of Jesus is the hardest for you to accept and to live?<\/li>\n<li>What daily practice helps you to \u201ckeep listening\u201d to Jesus?<\/li>\n<li>When have you been overwhelmed by glory?
