DAILY READINGS: Joshua 16-17; Isaiah 11-12; 1 Thess. 2:13 to 3:13
Behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with Him. Matthew 17:3
This glorious scene on the Mount of Transfiguration teaches many things. The two men who were transfigured with Christ were typical characters. As one writer put it, “Moses is a picture of those who will be raised from the dead and Elijah is a picture of those who will be taken without dying.” Yes, some will pass through that dark valley and some will be taken at the Rapture. Either way, the Prince of Life will be our heavenly escort! Because of this hope, we can rejoice: “O death where is thy sting? O grave where is thy victory?”
—Bob Cretney
Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory!
O glorious victory, that overcomes the world. —John Henry Yates
