PETEr/He Was Loyal in the Face of Tests Loyalty Rewarded

 Jesus began to change before their eyes. His face started to shine, to glow, until it became as brilliant as the sun.  His clothes too were glistening white. Then two figures appeared with Jesus, one representing Moses and the other Elijah. They conversed with him about "his departure that he was destined to fulfill at Jerusalem "-evidently his death and resurrection.  How clear it was that Peter had been wrong to deny that Jesus had such a painful experience ahead of him. - LUKE 9:30, 31.

 Peter felt compelled to participate somehow in this extraordinary vision-and perhaps to prolong  it.  It looked as if Moses and Elijah were parting from Jesus. So Peter spoke up: Instructor, it is fine for us to be here, so let us erect three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah." Of course. these visionary representations of two of Jehovah's long-dead servants did not need tents. Peter really did not know what he was saying.  Are you not drawn to the man, though, for his enthusiastic and warm spirit? - LUKE 9:33.
