馬可福音9:1-13

9:1 耶穌又對他們說：「我實在告訴你們，站在這裡的，有人在沒嘗死味以前，必要看見上帝的國大有能力臨到。」
9:2 過了六天，耶穌帶著彼得、雅各、約翰暗暗地上了高山，就在他們面前變了形像，
9:3 衣服放光，極其潔白，地上漂布的，沒有一個能漂得那樣白。
9:4 忽然，有以利亞同摩西向他們顯現，並且和耶穌說話。
9:5 彼得對耶穌說：「拉比（就是夫子），我們在這裡真好！可以搭三座棚，一座為你，一座為摩西，一座為以利亞。」
9:6 彼得不知道說甚麼才好，因為他們甚是懼怕。
9:7 有一朵雲彩來遮蓋他們；也有聲音從雲彩裡出來，說：「這是我的愛子，你們要聽他。」
9:8 門徒忽然周圍一看，不再見一人，只見耶穌同他們在那裡。
9:9 下山的時候，耶穌囑咐他們說：「人子還沒有從死裡復活，你們不要將所看見的告訴人。」
9:10 門徒將這話存記在心，彼此議論「從死裡復活」是甚麼意思。
9:11 他們就問耶穌說：「文士為甚麼說以利亞必須先來？」
9:12 耶穌說：「以利亞固然先來復興萬事；經上不是指著人子說，他要受許多的苦被人輕慢呢？
9:13 我告訴你們，以利亞已經來了，他們也任意待他，正如經上所指著他的話。」

And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.”

² After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. ³ His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. ⁴ And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus.

⁵ Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” ⁶ (He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.)

⁷ Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!”

⁸ Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.

⁹ As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. ¹⁰ They kept the matter to themselves, discussing what “rising from the dead” meant.

¹¹ And they asked him, “Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?”

¹² Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah does come first, and restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected? ¹³ But I tell you, Elijah has come, and they have done to him everything they wished, just as it is written about him.”

    我們在這裡看見主耶穌的人性承載著神性，祂不只是一個人，祂更是真神上帝的兒子！雖然摩西和以利亞，是很偉大的先知，是上帝所重用的僕人，卻是比不上耶穌基督。而且上帝要我們單單的跟隨祂，正向雲彩中傳來的聲音：「這是我的愛子，你們要聽他」。接著不再見一人，只見耶穌同他們在那裡。

    我們是不是常常將眼目放在亮麗與神奇的人身上，卻沒有將眼目放在主耶穌身上。沒有好好來認識祂是上帝的兒子，追求祂以外的事物，更是希望自己成為別人所注目的人，正如摩西和以利亞！但是，上帝卻要讓我們透過耶穌基督，得著上帝兒女的身分，真正成為屬上帝的人。

    曾經有位為主大大使用的僕人宣信博士，在他的生命中有一個重大的突破，是因為他發現：生命的重心不是追求有許多屬靈的恩賜，而是追求賜下恩賜的主耶穌，一生跟隨祂，領受聖靈為印記成為上帝的兒女！

    同樣今天上帝也要對我們說：「這是我的愛子，你們要聽他！」
