THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HEBTTORdT N. C; FRIDAY; JANUARY 16, 1953. CAGE NINE 1 our sciisol LESSON , WITNESSES OF HIS GLORY International Sunday ScIkmI Lesson ' For January 18, 1953. tommy Selection: "This fa my be loved Son, in whom I am well plea ed; hear ye him." Mattlhew 17: 5. , ' Lesson Text: Matthew 17: 1-8, ' . , 14-18... Matthew records that, six days after what we have come to call Peter's , 'XJreat Confession" as to the diety of Jesus, this diety was confirmed. Tak- . ing with him three of his disciples Peter, James and John the three who accompanied him on -most of his im portent missions, Jesus climbed to the top of beautiful Mount Hermon, on wht fc?4- the snow lies all tht year arouflu". Here, far above the milling throngs below, an amazing thing hap- ' pened. ; As Jesus prayed, "the fashion of his .countenance was altered and his face , did shine as the brightness of the sun, ' and his garments became white as the light" Two heavenly visitors ar ' rived and were recognized immediately by the disciples as Moses and Elijah two outstanding men of the old dis ' pensation, representing the law and tftie prophets, respectively. "Moses had received the law and given it to the people. Elijah had called the people back to the law," says G. Campbell Morgan, v "They - were the two most remarkable figures in the whole of the Mosaic economy. Moses' presence signified that, in Je sus, the shadows of the law were all fulfilled and now withdrawn. Elijah stood now unon the Mount to acknow ledge that, in tlr's Transfigured One, ! all the hope of heaven begins and , ends, and that, in him, every prophecy , of the past Is fulfilled." . "Whether the Transfiguration was a wholly objective reality-, or a whol ly subjective experience, or a com b'nation of both, its significance is the same," says W. P. Behftnv "The vision came to convince the disciples of the truth of Jesus' announcement, and to hearten them in the face of it Among other tilings, it taught them: (1) Messiahshio and martyrdom are the divine plan; (2) the character of the Messianic Kingdom is above all things spiritual; (3) Jesus is indeed the Messiah; they had not been mis taken; (4) Judaism is not overthrown, but glorified in Jesus; (5) I owe sub mission to but one, and thai one is Jesus: 'Hear ye Mm. . Three timeg during the earthly min istry of Jesus, the heavenly voice tes tified as to him. The" first was at the time of his baptism, in the beginning of his ministry. The last time was in Jerusalem, just before his final re jection and crucifixion. The other oc casion was at the time of -the Trans figuration, recorded n our lesson text "I take the Transfiguration to be a great lesson in prayer, and I urge that more and more of it should enter into our life. It is difficult, vlt will not be accomplished without a strenuous effort to shake ourselves free of the clinging material things, but it is worth far more than all the effort we can make," says Charles Brown. l1We are living as if this world were all, and often as if there were no God, and I believe that the constant habit of prayer would alter that It would introduce us to the larger' life. It would .not change our circumstance. but it might change our spirit. It would lead us to look beyond our cir cumstances, which do change, to the great and abiding facts of life, through the rmists of the everlasting mils." (Dazed and awed, the disciples look ed on, until Peter, jn his impulsive ness, suggested that they build taber nacles on ; the mountaintop so that they might remain m such a celestial atmosphere. Peter, of course, did not understand the meaning of what he nad seen or know the meaning of what he said, and there was no answer. Again, as pointed out above, there came a voice as at Jesus' baptism identifying Jesus as the Son of God, and expressing approval of him. The glory disappeared, and the -disciples, reassured, arose from their prostrate positions, to find Jesus alone with ' them. . However, the d;scples discovered, as we often do, that after worship comes service. jWonrhip cannot long stay , sincere and genuine and helpful, it It is made an end jn itself. Return, ing to the other disciples, who had re- . mained at the foot of the mountain, me power T Jesus, so recently ap - proved, had to be put to work; There they found -an anxious father, with, an epileptic son, whom .the disciples had -been unable to help. After chiding hie disciples for their lack of faith, Jesus asked that the boy be brought to him. IWtth a word, tne cnita was "neaied, to the amaze ment and wonder of the 4iscinles. Today, we, from time to time, enjoy tne "mountaintops" of, spiritual en richment. Have we learned, like Pe ter, that the way to heaven Hea over ; the road, not of vision alone," but also of service, healing prayer, compes- sion and suffering?! - .. ... j , , .t ' (These commentaries are . based on copyrighted outTnes, produced by the r .vision of .Christian Jbducation, Nat- T f PaftS EVBNINS DISPATCH (January 10, 195 THIEF :R0B5 STORE Ml E -ffiopRiERxs' ancff turned - " " "V"",nD"-. nis mind and ii-l."u' "e w,u WA to r : I ft a. i win want to .00dneM nd kind- Don't turn your back on MS. . 7 wi toward the J,, y J 712 CHURCH FOR ALL -.-.ww and oood .r.u,' V d.u' ?.
