Peter's Enjoyment of the Scene
Matthew 17:1-13
And after six days Jesus takes Peter, James, and John his brother, and brings them up into an high mountain apart,…


But what if the contemplation of Christ's glorified manhood so filled the apostle with joy that he was unwilling to be sundered from it, how shall it fare with those who attain to the contemplation of His glorious Godhead? And if it was so good a thing to dwell with two of His saints, how then to come to the heavenly Jerusalem, to the general assembly and Church of the first-born that are written in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to those, not seen through a glass and darkly, but face to face.

( Anselm.)
