The Transfiguration
by David G. Rose
One of the most awe-inspiring stories in the New Testament is the event that the Bible refers to as the Transfiguration of Christ. Every student of the Scriptures should know and understand the many powerful truths that were revealed in this miraculous manifestation.
Proving the importance of the Transfiguration, it is recorded in Matthew 17:1-8, Mark 9:2-8, and Luke 9:28-36. Briefly, Jesus was going to pray, probably on Mount Hermon. He took with Him Peter, James, and John. The disciples were very tired but agreed to go due to their faithfulness to Jesus.
While these three disciples slept, Jesus entered into intense prayer. Luke 9:29-31 KJV records, “And as He prayed, the fashion of His countenance was altered, and His raiment was white and glistering. And, behold, there talked with Him two men, which were Moses and Elias (Elijah): Who appeared in glory, and spake of His decease (death) which He should accomplish at Jerusalem.”
At the height of this revelation, the disciples awoke and saw Christ in His full glory, and the two Biblical statesmen that were with Him. Suddenly Peter, in self-absorbed folly, declares that he is going to build three tabernacles to honor the three great men that stood before him.
But Luke reveals the bold response of God in Luke 9:34-36 KJV, “While Peter thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud. And there came a Voice out of the cloud, saying, ‘This is my beloved Son: hear Him.’ And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone.”
There are several key truths that we should take from this amazing event. First, what the people saw of Christ as He walked on this earth, in no way revealed who He truly was. Man saw him as a human, but all of Heaven saw Jesus as the Creator God of the Universe. And for brief moments, these three disciples glimpsed the glory and majesty of Jesus. What an astounding revelation!
Second, the Divine meeting with Elijah and Moses was of utmost encouragement to Jesus as He faced the Crucifixion. Jesus knew what He would have to do at Jerusalem. In Matthew 16:21, Jesus was preparing the disciples for the tragedy before the triumph. But in His humanity, Jesus would decide to see it all through (Matthew 38-39).
Third, the Transfiguration of Christ was another notice to His disciples that Jesus would suffer, bleed, and die on the Cross. Like most of us, we have to be reminded often of priorities. We carelessly dismiss suffering and focus on happy times. But the disciples needed to know that a season of sorrow was coming.
Lastly, God gave His full endorsement to Jesus as His Son and as His Chosen one. Moses and Elijah were admired servants of God, but He had only one Son. No one, no matter how humble or noble, deserves the glory and praise that Christ’s deserves.
May the Transfiguration of Christ provide clarity and understanding.

The Son of God in power
SCRIPTURE
& PRAYER
Romans 1:1-5 ESV - Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations..
Prayer: Dear Lord, the scripture today reminds me that all authority comes through Christ alone. Man can devise rites and rituals, but they are powerless without the presence of the Holy Spirit. With this in mind, may all that I say and do be in total submission to the word and will of Christ, my Savior. In the Name of Jesus I pray.
Benefits of Christ
The Benefits of Knowing Christ
Great Opportunity
by David G. Rose
In this brief series of articles, we discuss some of the benefits we have in knowing Christ as our Savior. The basis of our discussion is found in the words of Jesus in John Chapter 14. So far, we have considered the benefit that Christ offers us help in troubled times, the Blessed Hope, and a vision of the Father.
Today we discuss the benefit of a great opportunity. Jesus said in John 14:13 KJV, “And whatsoever ye shall ask in My Name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” What an open door to great blessing is available to those who pray in the Name of Jesus and seek the face of God. The key is to pray in the Name of Jesus that God will be glorified in our request.
Never forget the strong admonition that Jesus gave in John15:16 KJV, “Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in My Name, He may give it you.”
There is power and great opportunity in the Name of Jesus!
Next week: Personal Comforter
Therefore, comfort each other and edify one another.

Finally....
For stay at home Christians...
We started this ministry with you in mind. Recent reports state that many Christians no longer attend a church. They have been offended, or have to work, or they cannot physically leave their home, and so they stay at home.
Our heart is to reach out to you with Bible studies, hospital visitation, prayer for the sick, serving the Lord's Supper, counsel, etc. Just call on us and we will be of ministry if possible.
There is no obligation or membership. When you need personal ministry, click here for more information >>>>

Holy Spirit Help
by Rev. Douglas Raymond Rose
Thought for Today: Romans 8:26—We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us.”
“I’m speechless”
Have you ever said that? Sometimes we just don’t know what to say! Even some social media websites offer help with your answers—to say nothing of the infamous “A I” processes.
The good news is that we have a Divine ‘helper’ with this problem. He’s the precious Holy Spirit. The Bible reminds us the Spirit Himself intercedes for us. Hallelujah!
When we are speechless on our knees, the Holy Spirit is here to back us up and provide the missing words.
John Oxenham once said: “He who gives the day—will lead the way.”
I Thessalonians 5:24 says: Faithful is He that called you who also will do it.”
Here’s a poem I wrote to encourage you:
Sometimes the right words just won’t come
Somedays I don’t know what to say—
But I just drop down on my knees
Thanks for hearing my heart anyway.
Lord, oft I don’t know what to say
As I fumble for words to pray==
The Holy Spirit fills in the gaps
Thanks for hearing me anyway.
As Frances de Sales said: “May God ever be in your heart.”
PRAYER: (By Fenelon) “O Father give to thy child that which he himself knows not how to ask.”
Lord, please pray through me. Amen.

Steps to
Finding
New Life
in Christ
If you desire to make Christ the Lord over your life, here are six important steps to take right now:
1. Admit that you have sinned against God- Romans 3:23
2. Understand that Jesus died for your sins and offers cleansing and salvation - Romans 5:8
3. Remember that if you continue to ignore the call of Christ, you will spend eternity separated from God - Romans 6:23
4. Place your faith in Christ. He will save you and provide a life of blessing - Romans 8:1
5. Confess your sins to Christ and repent for your works against God - Romans 10:9-10
6. Invite Jesus to be the Lord and Master of your life - Romans 10:13
Pray this prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe that only you can forgive sins. I ask you to come into my heart, forgive my sins, and be the ruler of my life. Thank you for saving me from my sins. Thank you for the love that you show me everyday. I now know that eternal life is a gift given from you. I pray and ask that you be the Lord of my life, lead me, guide me and
direct my path that I may walk each and every day with you. In the wonderful name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

All-day Praise!
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep
for words.
