The Transfiguration

After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them; his face shone like the sun and his clothes became white as light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, conversing with him. Then Peter said to Jesus in reply, "Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud cast a shadow over them, then from the cloud came a voice that said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him" (Matthew 17: 1-5).

Some people throughout history have claimed that Jesus was not divine. That He was only human like us. Faith in Jesus’ divinity is a gift, a gift to be thankful for. Never take your faith for granted.

Heavenly Father, help me to truly appreciate my faith.
