Peter/ HE WAS LOYAL In the Face of Tests -Loyalty Rewarded

 Peter, James, and John received another reward that night.  A cloud formed and loomed over then  on the mountain. From it came voice -the voice of Jehovah God!   He said: "This is my Son, the one who has been chosen.  Listen to him.:  Then the vision was over, and they were along and Jesus on the mountain. -  LUKE 9:34-36.

What a gift that transfiguration vision was for Peter - and for us. Decades later he wrote of the privilege of actually   seeing a preview of Jesus as a glorious heavenly King and of being one of the "Eyewitnesses ." That vision confirmed many prophets of God's Word and strengthened Peter's faith for the trials he had to face.  (2 Peter 1:16-19) It  could do the same for us if we remained loyal Master whom Jehovah has appointed over  us, learning from him, accepting his discipline and correction , and humbly following him day by day.
