Read Luke 9:28-36

28 About a week after he had said these things, Jesus took Peter, John, and James with him and went up a hill to pray. ²⁹While he was praying, his face changed its appearance, and his clothes became dazzling white. ³⁰Suddenly two men were there talking with him. They were Moses and Elijah, ³¹who appeared in heavenly glory and talked with Jesus about the way in which he would soon fulfill God’s purpose by dying in Jerusalem. ³²Peter and his companions were sound asleep, but they woke up and saw Jesus’ glory and the two men who were standing with him. ³³As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, how good it is that we are here! We will make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not really know what he was saying.)

34 While he was still speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them with its shadow; and the disciples were afraid as the cloud came over them. ³⁵A voice said from the cloud, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen—listen to him!”

36 When the voice stopped, there was Jesus all alone. The disciples kept quiet about all this, and told no one at that time anything they had seen.

Think

Jesus is transformed / transfigured as he prays on the mountain; a voice comes from the heavens and affirms him again: "This is my Son... listen to him!"

Pray

Help me to listen to you even when the things you say are not that easy to hear or do.
