    “Then from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to

    him (Luke 9:35)”

     

    These are the words God the Father speaks about Jesus the Son while Jesus was on

    the Mt of Transfiguration. Peter, James and John had gone up the mountain with Jesus to

    pray. While they were there, Jesus was transfigured. His appearance changed and his

    clothes became dazzling white. Soon Moses, the representative of the Torah, the law; joined

    him and he was joined by Elijah, the representative of the prophets. They appeared in glory

    and were speaking of Jesus and his near departure. It was there, among Moses and Elijah, in

    the presence of Peter, James and John that the voice from heaven spoke. “This one, Jesus, is

    my beloved son. Listen to him.”

     

    The late Elton Trueblood penned the following words, which might well be thought

    of as commentary on the Father’s witness to the son: “A Christian is a person who

    confesses that, amidst the manifold and confusing voices heard in the world, there is one

    Voice which supremely wins his full assent, uniting all his powers, intellectual and

    emotional, into a single pattern of self-giving. That voice is Jesus Christ. A Christian not

    only believes that He was; he believes in Him with all his heart and strength and mind.

    Christ appears to the Christian as the one stable point or fulcrum in all the relativities of

    history. Once the Christian has made this primary commitment, he still has perplexities, but

    he begins to know the joy of being used for a mighty purpose by which his little life is

    dignified.”
