Seeing only Christ

When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.
Matthew 17:8

Seeing only Christ
The Lord Jesus went up on a high mountain with Peter, James and John. There, He showed them His glory as a preview of the future kingdom. Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Christ (Matthew 17:1–8). The disciples were impressed when they recognised these devoted men of faith. Immediately, Peter had an idea: “If You wish, let us make here three tabernacles, one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” Hardly had he finished speaking when a voice came from the bright cloud that overshadowed them: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!”

With these words, God the Father redirected the disciples’ focus to the Lord Jesus. They were to recognise that He is the beloved Son of the Father, the One in whom the Father always delights. When the disciples heard the voice, they fell on their faces and were afraid. Later, they opened their eyes again. They saw only Jesus – Him alone!

This is precisely what God the Father also wants to achieve today with all believers. For example, when we are gathered for the breaking of bread, He directs our thoughts to His beloved Son. He shows us what this One means to Him. Everything else should fade into the background so that we only see and admire the Lord Jesus. Then we will praise and worship the Father and the Son from the bottom of our hearts.

“We shall see Him as He is.” (1 John 3:2)

Today’s reading: Joshua 15:20-16:10 · 1 Corinthians 13:1-13

UNCOVERING EVIL

The presence of the supernatural power of God in a church can take that church beyond limits.
It can also uproot the presence of evil in the midst of Gods children. In Acts 5, a couple were uprooted through this. If we are going to sanitise the church, we need the Holy Spirit. Just as we need Him to heal, save...More
