Hear The Son

"And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him."  Luke 9:35.  Jesus has gone into the mountain with Peter, James, and John to pray.  While there, the fashion of Jesus is altered and Moses with Elijah appear with Him.  When Peter suggested that they built three tabernacles for Jesus, Moses, and Elijah, a cloud overshadows them.  In the midst of this cloud, God speaks these words in verse 35.  Moses gave the law.  Elijah was the prophet who delivered God's word to a rebellious people.  Their voice has been silenced.  Jesus is the one whom we must hear.  No longer do we hear the law.  No longer do we hear the prophets.  We are to hear Jesus.  Jesus is the beloved Son of God.  Jesus is the redeemer.  Jesus is the mediator.  Jesus has sealed the New Covenant with His blood.  Jesus speaks God's will, and we are to hear Him.  In all ages, God has selected the one through whom He will speak to wayward mankind.  In our age, God speaks through Christ Jesus.  The will of Christ is the will of God.  Hear Him.
