Today I read about Jesus and his disciples and the part that really got my mind to going is found in Matthew 17:1-13. The title in my Bible is "The Transfiguration" in short it is when Jesus took Peter, James, and John up a high mountain and they witnessed Jesus talking to Moses and Elijah.
The first thought I had was I wonder what Jesus, Moses, and Elijah talked about. It couldn't possibly be just a random conversation. Could it have been them giving Jesus encouragement or maybe telling him that the time is near and this is what to look out for?
Then my second thought was why Peter, James, and John. Jesus has lots of disciples what exactly made those 3 men stand out? Now I think he took Peter because of an earlier converstation that I read in Ch. 16:13-20 when Jesus quizzed the disciples about who he was and Peter said, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God." vs 16 and Jesus replied with a blessing for Peter and told him that he was correct , changed his name and declared that he would now be known as the rock that Jesus built his church on.
But again to my original thought exactly what do three great men like Jesus, Moses, and Elijah talk about on top of a mountain?
Today's reading:
Matthew 13:1-30
Genesis 46-48
**Side Note I am a few chapters ahead in the New Testament readings and few chapters behind in the Old Testament**
