Seeing Jesus Only...

And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light. And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. And Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were terrified. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Rise, and have no fear.” And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only. (Matthew 17:1-8 ESV) The Light has been coming on a lot for these disciples, as the finally have made the break with the legalism of the Pharisees. They have even gotten to the point of recognizing Jesus as the Messiah, "The Son of the Living God." But things have not fully set in, as they still do not see the total uniqueness of Jesus. He is not merely in the top ten or final 3 or 4; He is the one to look to and listen to above all others. He and He alone is the King, worthy of our worship, devotion, and full faith.
