God used cosmic events and entered into historical events in the early years of his revelation to mankind but that general revelation was incomplete. Not until He came to earth as a little baby, in a humble setting, did God complete what he intended. He revealed his will for the salvation of the world through his son. Jesus was both flesh and God. He entered into the history of mankind and was seen and heard as "one of us." He came to earth, not to condemn the world but that the world through His plan and person could be reconciled and have a personal relationship with him. (1 John 3:16) -Thomas Q. Robbins

lake_pier.jpegThe subject of the Come and See Bible study class today is the experience Peter James and John seeing Jesus temporarily changed into what is called His glorified spiritual body.  The Transfiguration is a most extraordinary event and a mind-boggling experience for Peter, James and John.  Dr. Thomas Q. Robbins taught from this passage a few weeks ago but at that time it was presented from the approach of when that passage meant to us personally.  Of course, all scripture should be applied to our daily life and in this lesson Dr. Robbins will be showing us how important it to understand the Identification experiences of Jesus – the times when God Himself declared who Jesus was.  At Jesus’ public baptism by John the Baptizer, God affirmed who Jesus was.  In this second incident, Jesus took three of his disciples with him.  

There were several amazing things that transpired during the Transfiguration.  Why is it that the disciples saw Moses and Elijah with Jesus?  And what is the significance of the brilliance of light and then the moving in of a dense cloud?  Dr. Robbins will speak to these questions and their importance to us personally then spend most of his time with the command that is given to the Church and to us as followers      

            Most likely you agreed with Dr Robbins when you hear him say that “listening” is the most difficult part of our life.  Isn’t it helpful to be reminded that to be a good, an effective listener we have to be ‘invested’ in the person we are listening to?  That is so right!  Good listening involves hearing what is spoken, paying attention to what is not spoken, watching body language.  To listen well is the most rigorous, concentrating act in which we ever engage.  It’s an investment of our very being.  God speaks through many different methods -- loved ones, preachers, friends, teachers, prayer, printed words, experiences.  And to listen we much not be speaking or thinking of some distracting idea or focus on some noise. .  If you are able turn to Luke, chapter 9, verses 28-36.  Click the start button at the tip of this article, if it's not already playing to hear Dr. Robbins and “IF I’M NOT HEARING….  I’M NOT LISTENING.”
