Jesus Only
“And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and His face did shine as the sun, and His raiment was white as the light…And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only”
(Matthew 17:1-2,8).
Three of the Lord’s disciples had just experienced one of the most spectacular events in their lives, there on the Mount of Transfiguration. But they didn’t realize just how important Jesus was in the eyes and thoughts of God until Peter, James and John saw “Jesus only.” Everything else, and everyone else, no matter how wonderful and how important, was shut out from their view.
When we meet with the Lord to remember Him in His death, is He the only person we see? Quite often we are occupied with the happenings of yesterday or last week, or, like the disciples with Moses and Elijah, we are more occupied with other believers, present or absent. Let’s really try on this special day to shut out everything else and see “Jesus only.”
