Jesus was here on earth. LESSON STORY: Jesus said to His friends one day, “Whom do men say that I . . . am?” (v. 13). Of course everyone knew Jesus’ name, but He wanted to see whether they knew the deepest meaning of His narhe. They should have had the right answer at once, for they had seen the wbnderful things that Jesus did, and they had heard His words. The Lord Jesus had healed sick people when no one else could help them; He had fed hungry people when there seemed to be no food in sight; He had stopped a storm, and He had even raised the dead to life again. Only the Son of God could do that. But when the friends of Jesus an swered His question they said, “Some say that thou art John the Baptist; some, Elias; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets” (v. 14). They were all wrong! But P e t e r stepped up and said plainly, “Thou art the. Christ, the Son of the living God” (v. 16). When he said that, the Lord Jesus was pleased, for He' knew that Peter understood why Jesus had come to earth—why He had left His Father’s home' in heaven. He came because all people on earth were sinners and needed a Saviour, and Jesus was the only One who could help them. Peter had the right answer. The heavenly Father Himself had whis pered it in his heart (v. 17). When we receive the Lord Jesus as our own Saviour and best Friend, we make Him happy, as Peter did.

LESSON: This powerful electric bulb is much more noticeable when it is lighted. In looking at it I am re minded of the time when Christ took Peter, James, and John up into a high mountain to pray. As our Lord- was praying, His face and clothing were filled with light. Christ was always the Light of the world, but people did not always realize that He was the Light. But on this occasion His light and glory shone out through Hinr in a way that it had never done before upon earth. Christ was transfigured before them. The best illustration I know of for the Transfiguration is this electric bulb. The electricity which is g e n erated up in the mountains shines out through the bulb. Look at these other electric bulbs. They are cold and lifeless. AsT look at them I am reminded of the words of Paul, found in Romans 12:2: “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed.” The word here translated “transformed” is the same word in the Greek language as the word “transfigured” used to describe that which happened to Christ. Is it true that God wants Christians to be transfigured before the world? Yes, he wants us to reveal the light and glory of God to others. 1 think this is what Christ meant when He said: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matt. 5:16). See how these little bulbs bum when the electric current is turned into them. As the Christian allows God to transform him, the light and glory of God will shine out through his words and actions, and will cause, those who are in darkness to see the Light of the world.
