An ApplicationGod is so eager to love us (LK 13:34, 15:20) and He tells us so often, it's easy to forget there's a degree of terror when we experience even a shadow of His presence. Fortunately for us, after MT 17:6 was MT 17:7. But remember Jesus's compassion is largely conditional: reject Him and He will reject us MT 10:33, and the opposite is true: ROM 8:38-39.

Connect the DotsCompare the "tone" of MT 17:5 to ISA 45:22. Then note their response in MT 17:6. Also compare MT 3:16-17. / Compare Jesus's face shining in MT 17:2 to REV 1:16, 10:1, 21:23, and ISA 60:19. / How did they know it was Moses and Elijah in MT 17:3? Do we automatically know who we're looking at when we see our spirits, like spiritual IFF codes, or was it a simpler explain and Jesus told them later but Matthew just wrote it in here?
