Matthew 17
God the Father, much like He did when John baptized Jesus:
The difference here is that God the Father instructs (implores is more like it) the disciples to LISTEN to Jesus. Peter is easily distracted, much like Martha was when Jesus visits, and we should remain focused because Satan is everywhere and is active as I posted a couple of days ago.
We need to fix our eyes on Jesus and finish the race.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are pure, holy, perfect, and blameless. Yet You took our place on the cross and nailed our sin as well as Your life to the cross so that we would not be slaves to sin and so that we could have eternal life in heaven with You. What an amazing gift - the best gift ever given now and forevermore! I know I am not worthy of such a gift. Like Peter and Martha I am easily distracted. Thank You that You love me anyway but please forgive me Jesus. Help me turn from such sin and help me be the man You intend for me.
“This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” v5
God the Father, much like He did when John baptized Jesus:
As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:16-17
