We were with him in the holy mount. 2 Peter 1:18
When the prophet Isaiah had his vision of Christ’s millennial glory, he recorded “I saw” and “I heard” (Isa. 6:1, 8). Saul of Tarsus saw “a light from heaven” and “heard a voice” (Acts 9:3-4). John “turned to see the voice that spake” with him (Rev. 1:12), and doubtless recalled being with Peter and James when they were “eyewitnesses of his majesty” and heard the Father’s voice (Matt. 17:1-5; 2 Peter 1:16). These favoured witnesses had a brief glimpse of Christ in glory but, when we first see and hear Him, it will be forever. —Phil Coulson
I shall then with joy behold Him;
Face to face my Saviour see;
Fall with rapture, and adore Him,
For His love to me. —Mary E Maxwell
