Listen To Him

A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, whom I have chosen; listen to Him.” - Luke 9:35

As God’s Son Yeshua has God’s power and authority.; thus His words should be our final authority. If a person’s teaching is true , it will agree with Yeshua’s teaching. Do not be hasty to seek advice and guidance from merely human sources and thereby neglect Yeshua’s message. Test everything you hear against yeshua ‘s words and you will not be led astray. If we believe He is God’s Son, then we will surely want to do what He says.

Yeshua was transfigured in front of the three disciples who were part of His 'inner circle', not long after Peter had made the earth-shattering confession: "You are the Son of the living God." For the first time in His life and ministry, Yeshua gave this little group of men a taste of the heavenly glory that He had with the Father before the world began, a peep in the eternal glory that He had set aside, in order to live and die as our Saviour and Lord.

The wonderful spectacle of Moses and Elijah speaking to Yeshua on the heavenly mount must have rejoiced their heart, but I am sure that nothing could transcend the awe and wonderment they must have experienced when a cloud appeared from above and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud, saying: "This is my beloved Son: hear Him."

We may not have been party to this unique transfiguration experience and heard the audible voice of God instructing us to "hear Him," but we have the opportunity to listen to the voice of our Father every day of our lives, as we listen to Him speaking to us through the vast treasury of truth that is contained in the holy Scriptures.

Let us be ready to hear His voice speaking to us and let us be diligent to heed His Word.
