You Cannot Stay on the Mountain
Scripture
"There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light."
— Matthew 17:2
What it means
Jesus took three disciples up a mountain and for a few moments they saw Him without the ordinary covering. Moses and Elijah stood there with Him, two men who had each met God on a mountain and each left it. Peter offered to build three shelters, which was his way of asking to stay. They did not stay. They came down the next day into a crowd and a father whose son was ill.
