Just Listen
Matthew 17:1-5 The Message (MSG)
17 1-3 Six days later, three of them saw that glory. Jesus took Peter and the brothers, James and John, and led them up a high mountain. His appearance changed from the inside out, right before their eyes. Sunlight poured from his face. His clothes were filled with light. Then they realized that Moses and Elijah were also there in deep conversation with him.
4 Peter broke in, “Master, this is a great moment! What would you think if I built three memorials here on the mountain—one for you, one for Moses, one for Elijah?”
5 While he was going on like this, babbling, a light-radiant cloud enveloped them, and sounding from deep in the cloud a voice: “This is my Son, marked by my love, focus of my delight. Listen to him.”
1. Have you ever had an experience in your life when suddenly you realized that something extraordinary was happening? How did you react?
2. Jesus and his disciples are getting ready to move towards Jerusalem. It is important for them to “just listen”. Look ahead in your Bibles in the book of Matthew (past chapter 17), what messages do you think were particularly important for the disciples?
3. It is important for us to “just listen” today. What message do you think Jesus has to give us today?
4. How can we better listen for the voice of Jesus during this Lenten season?
